This is off-topic, but "better" depends on your threat model. A VPN is
not anonymous, but it will encrypt your traffic until it leaves the VPN.
Tor will anonymize (to a degree) your traffic, and encrypt it from your
machine until your traffic leaves the Tor network. So the relative worth
of each system depends on how much you value anonymity versus how much
you trust the operator of the machine your cleartext is routed through.

JonDo is just a rebranding of JAP, which was backdoored, IIRC. So don't
trust it.
