I’m a nerd, doing nerd things…
At first glance, I thought that was the backside of someone bending over. I’m sure I’m the only one though. Right?

I really like Mona.
I don’t use any of the ones you mention, but am pretty happy with PrivateVPN. It works well as an app on my iPhone, but the main use case is for torrenting. You can connect to privacy focused countries and do kill switches so you don’t leak your ip. I used Surfshark as well, but the torrenting part was lacking a few years ago.
Real world actual difference? No, not much. The big benefit is in the updating of all the software. I run Plex, sonarr, radarr, jackett, qbittorent, Grafana, Prometheus, blackbox, nginx, and a few other Docker containers on a pretty plain Ubuntu server. One command to update the OS, another to pull new containers, a periodic reboot for the OS changes and Robert is your mother’s brother. Way easier than running all software independently on a VM.
Edit: oh, and suffer some type of catastrophic issue or have a software update go sideways? You are 30 minutes away from just reinstalling the OS, add docker and reapply your docker-compose script.
