I've used mullvad for quite a long time, but because it doesn't have port forwarding, its created some concerns with media sharing. Ive seen TorGuard and AirVPN as the main 2 that are recommended. Are they as trustworthy as Mullvad?

Mullvad, Proton, and IVPN are the most trustworthy. Not sure if the other two support port forwarding

ivpn lost port forwarding recently. proton had it last i checked. also tried ovpn, but couldn't get port forwarding to work and it had a pretty bad case of dns leaks.

Then Proton seems to be the only usable VPN for anyone who Torrents and gives a shit about seeding. (Only scumbags don't seed)

At least out of the three privacy oriented ones you mentioned that at least has OSS clients IIRC

I have a limited data plan and I never seed. Also I prefer companies that don't endorse fascists.

Cry me a river.
