Do not waste your time with cloud mining

And here it goes again. Telling people all cloud mining companies are scammers because they do something you don't like.

Why not tell them there's a reason for that which is mainly because of the crappy Bitcoin Blockchain. Why not tell them that at least their fee is much lower than what a usual BTC Transaction fee is. Why not tell them the high withdrawl limit is only with BTC. ETH for example has only about $90. And why not tell them even when they are below the limit they can cash out any amount after their contract expires.

Dear users,
Update 06.01.2018 13:15 UTC: BTC withdrawals are enabled in limited mode, with the minimum withdrawal amount set to 0.05 BTC. Bitcoin network fee at the moment is 0.0007 BTC. We are working on changing the method of creating transactions to batches of multiple withdrawals, to reduce the time it takes withdrawals to reach the destination wallets and to reduce the network fee for our customers.

Because of the all time high amount of unconfirmed transactions in the Bitcoin network, the network fee (commission fee in HashFlare.io) fluctuates.

And about whithdrawl:
"... we can confirm that users will still be able to make a withdrawal in case if their balance will be lower than the minimum withdrawal amount by the time when their contract expires."

Of course there are a lot scammers around in the cloud mining business but just because you don't like the way they do their business it's not scam.

And to answer the OP's questions: So far I like Hashflare a lot. Although you have to calculate ROI carefully as they increased prices for BTC mining some time ago. Maybe also look at ETH here (if the ETH uptrend stays). Genesis seems to be legit but currently doesn't offer contracts with BTC, ETH and most others (only Monero if I recall correctly). Don't like the payout from Minergate (from cloud mining) ... much too low compared to the pools results.
