Cloudflare has the cheapest prices and the fastest DNS record changes there is no reason to use anyone else.

    cloudflare sells below cost, so expect to be nagged by "features" and have trouble e.g. using your own nameservers to get away from them.

    Also they don't sell the truly cheap stuff like .eu because they're not nonprofit.

    For .xyz they do make a good compromise, but xyz itself is a bad choice to start with.

    All DNS servers have "fast record changes". They publish the records instantly on their own servers (if they don't they're a crappy service). But they can't force other DNS server to update, each server does that at its own pace. In theory they have to obey the TTL for each record but in practice many cache the information and update much slower than the TTL.
