I'll throw Private Internet Access in there for a known one with port forwarding. I know the general attitude towards PIA has soured since the buyout but there still has yet to be a reason to believe it's not a good service and they've continued to add bells and whistles over time while still being one of the cheapest VPNs out there.

Agreed. They were my first before Mullvad (now AirVPN since Mullvad removed port forwarding). I switched around the buyout when my renewal came around, but it was cheap and did work fine. I haven't heard any horror stories in the years since, and if you're just using it to torrent, I don't think there's much to worry about.
