I currently avoid VPNs, since it is my understanding using them can collapse all your Tor Browser circuits, ruining the utility of the tool.

If you need to geo-shift or pirate or something less risky than being a literal dissident, I recommend being VERY careful not to do it where you sleep in case you slip up.

(And remember: your DNS queries go to the exit note or the VPN, not the ISP.)
