ISPs don't care about you as long as you aren't hosting, over-seeding, or doing other illicit stuff. There has been recent talk of the FBI and ISPs auto-flagging your account if you are using VPN andor TOR anyway.
If you insist on being "more secure", Nord+TOR is the best combo; Using both a VPN and TOR is baseline, anything less than that is pointless, and even then if an agency cares enough about you they can still get you.
