I'll vouch for cloud flare. Its hands down my favorite registrar I have used.
The ABSOLUTE, HANDS DOWN worst one you can possibly ever pick, would be GoDaddy. Don't. Just Don't. Don't even search for a domain there.... They have been caught sniping up domains after you search for them.. Absolute scum.
Want to know what is worse than GoDaddy? Network Solutions.
Had some guy from one of their shell companies tell me a domain no one would ever spend five figures on was being sold for $55k. GoDaddy sucks massively.
I followed that link, and the post itself seems to not be that, no one in comments was pointing to anything that was a smoking gun on that, and someone else linked to the CEO directly saying that, no, absolutely not, it'd be bad business to do so.
Which feels weird to defend GoDaddy, because, while I haven't used them in a few years, my experience with them is that they're an awful registrar, but mostly because of how hard they make it to transfer away and how sleazy they get with sales tactics. And their ads haven't been... good, but I'd probably let that slide if they provided reliable, good service.
