Encrypted DNS can help minimize the amount of information available to your ISP. Most ISPs block and log your traffic through DNS queries since it's the easiest. By encrypting your DNS traffic, the ISP can't see what domain you're trying to find. Although, if they are motivated enough, they can sniff the SNI headers from your TCP traffic.
I'd stay away from Google DNS as they log it for themselves.
Use something like Quad9.net or Control D.
Thanks for the informative response! I've made the switch to Quad9!
