I’m looking to go into Usenet / premiumize / real Debrid but I don’t know which ones are reputable. Which ones have you all had luck with or liked? And what was the cost?

I’ve been using nzbgeek for a few months and have a friend that’s used it for a few years, no complaints and pretty cheap
+1 for nzbgeek.
I also use nzbplanet but they seem to have the same options as geek.
Nzb.su and DrunkenSlug are my “backup” but only because they don’t have a lifetime subscription.
In the Usenet subReddit wiki you can find an awesome list of providers and their backbone. Again, I’m cheap so I went with the cheapest one I could find… it’s rare but because I’m not using “the best” I’ll need to use torrents to get anything I can’t grab from Usenet.
As someone who already torrents with a VPN, is there any advantage to NZB?
Usenet is usually a lot faster, for most things you can basically max out your bandwidth (or whatever the max you set your download client to) instead of it being determined by the number and quality of seeders. Newer releases torrents also download very fast, but after a few months or years the seeders drop off a lot, usenet is always the same speed even if it’s super old and most keep stuff indefinitely or for 10-20 years or so (longer if it’s being grabbed a lot still)
Also one nzb site is usually enough, you don’t need to check a bunch of different torrent sites since it’s basically one massive one. I use prowlarr so I have it check nzbgeek for everything first and a bunch of torrent sites as backups in case it isn’t there, but almost everything gets grabbed from usenet
Hard to find scene releases are sometimes only available via usenet.
