The internet now has billions of users. With the possible exception of
OpenDNS who have gone to admirable lengths to populate their knowledge
base with device-specific configuration instructions [0], I don't think
any of the choices you've listed are available to the "average enduser",
who almost by definition lacks the specialized technical knowledge
needed to select an alternative DNS resolution provider.
italy's experience in blocking unlicensed online gambling sites proved
otherwise, as would would SOPA had it passed. any rDNS service that
blocks lookups in a way that does not align with a user's interests,
will not be used, other than to locate the nec'y bypass recipes. most of
those recipes do not require deep technical knowledge.
a minute or so of searching turned up these:

also, there's an app for that:

foot-on-neck disease, and unilateralism in general, have never been
practical where the internet was involved. humans are only sheep-like
when presented with a politician's lies. if you try to take away their
porn or gambling or $whatever, they will balk, and become thuggish.
