From Posteo I cannot say much more since using my own domain is critical.
Tuta, it is indeed missing PGP and that is a problem if you are trying to communicate with someone that uses PGP. Now, Tuta's encryption although no as universal as PGP, you could say it is better implemented since the subject is encrypted (unlike with PGP's). The shortcoming is is that Tuta's encryption only works seamless between Tuta accounts, or the recipient is offered a web link where he/she has to enter a password. In real life, a handful full know to to work with PGP.
So at the end depends on who you intend to send emails to... are part of them PGP users? If yes, get Proton, if not, either Proton or Tuta will be OK, use other criteria to choose between them.
I still need to properly learn what PGP is beyond an encryption and learn how to use it haha ๐
