Any thoughts on Mullvad? (
https://mullvad.net/en/)
I also like the conference talk "#HITB2012KUL D1T3 - The Grugq - OPSEC: Because Jail is for wuftpd" most of it is based on hackers that have been jailed lately and specifically what they did to end up in jail, but there is also some techinal stuff about privacy and anonymity, specifically about TOR+VPN here: http://youtu.be/9XaYdCdwiWU?t=45m30s
EDIT: RE: Mullvad, AFAIK they don't have any presence outside SE, NL, or DE so I think your speeds will take a hit coming from outside Western Europe.
