I went with Tuta because it's my backup if everything else goes wrong. If my house burns down or my VPS shuts down my instance (e.g. billing fail, IP block ban, provider goes under, etc), I don't want to lose access to my email.
I use a custom domain for it, so if I ever need to, switching to a different provider should be as simple as swapping some domain configs.
It's relatively inexpensive too at €3/month when paying annually. I wanted two domains (one for personal, one for online stuff) and didn't need any of the other stuff Proton has, so Tuta worked.
