Did you consider NordVPN? I like the fact that I get to login from anywhere in the world.

My default choice is Sweden since they have the most lax copyright laws in the world, so subpoenaing any Swedish server gonna be tough.

They also offered me unavoidable discount.

This is a fairly common practice and my understanding is that every major and most minor VPN services offer this.

I never knew. Is it available on PIA and Mullvad?

It was on PIA, when I used them (stopped when I heard about the sale to Kape), so I'd assume it still is.

Mullvad also does this. Here's their server status page, so you can see your options: https://mullvad.net/en/servers/

Yes. It is available on both.

NordVPN may have good intentions but they were hacked.

Honestly, hack is a big word for what it really was... no user data stolen and they closed the server. I still use it and would recommend it, just for the speeds and the easy interface.
