I think for most of us the safest longterm option is to use an email service based in our own country. That would give someone much better standing if you ever needed to go to court or a regulatory agency to take action against a provider. Yes, it is unlikely, but you never know. Another option is to have all your mail forwarded to another service as an automatic backup if the main service ever went down or was blocked, or you could use something like Thunderbird to download all your emails locally so they can be stored and backed up. That still wouldn't help with new emails if they became blocked for some reason, but you could at least have recent contacts and emails so you could notify important people and businesses.
