PrivacyGuides (not affiliated with them, just find it a useful resource), highlights Proton, Mullvad, and iVPN as reputable depending on your use. They state Proton does not support ipv6 yet, Mullvad removed remote port forwarding, and iVPN the same.

The recommendation the person you're responding to (PIA and Cryptostorm), is very untrustworthy and doesn't even match the minimum criteria from PrivacyGuides.

Got any details, reference, quote, or analysis on the CS claim?

AFAICT, the only discriminating factor is lack of solicited third-party security audits. Which I don't think implies being "untrustworthy".

(PIA/Kape I get and relevant information is easily discoverable available on controversy surrounding them and their owners)

The default state of vpn services should be that they're untrusted.
