Check this list and choose the ones with the lowest ping from your node: https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-public-dns-servers-2626062
Make sure to avoid DNS servers marketed as "secure" (for example, do NOT use "Comodo Secure DNS") since they perform arbitrary censorship/redirection. Also, do not use Google as it already sees >30% of all Tor exit traffic. On your node, run dnsmasq with a large (10000) cache as a fast and secure alternative to running a full DNS server. That can prevent some DNS-based timing attacks.
