There are DNS performance test tools available which will find the fastest dns
for you.
That doesn't address the "trustworthy" or the tracking aspects.  DNS queries
provide a wealth of metadata about a subnet.  I wouldn't trust google with that
data unless it was absolutely necessary.

OTOH, I wouldn't trust any government to provide a clean, unmodified, DNS either.

Just a reminder - DNS is the core for most web security. If you own the DNS, you
own all servers on the internet too. This is not anything to be selected on a whim.

IMHO.
