I keep hearing bad stuff about proton, but I don’t really get most of it. Could someone please explain all of the controversy to me. Lastly, what are the best alternatives to all of their services?

The following article explains one of the more recent controversies:

Proton Mail Faces Backlash Over Claims of Political Neutrality Amid CEO’s Praise for Republican Party.

As far as alternatives, here's a couple:

Tutanota is one of the more popular in regards to email. Posteo is another one.

In regards to ProtonDrive, I'd suggest learning how to self host your own NextCloud or OpenCloud instance.

The rest of their services I'm unfamiliar with. Do some more research, simple search engine lookups should help you in regards to all of these.
