The general rule is the closer the better. The more distance the signal has to travel the more the risk of network latency. However, you may have to use foreign servers e.g. US ones, to view stuff blocked by UK ISPs

So for instance no point using a UK based one to access add-ons such as placenta or genisis reborn would they be blocked ? Thanks

I have always used a uk server and never been blocked from any addons. Movie addons are all accessible using a uk server (all you are using a vpn for is to cover your own tracks with your current isp).

Addons are ok through a VPN. My reference was to those streams (sports ones) where you need a US ip address.

TBH Ive never used US but it makes sense especially to gain a US IP address for live sports. Ill swap my server at the weekend and give it go.

Tried all the US Sources for VPN. Too slow. The UK ones I use are way faster and no problem with Live Sports.
Worth a try at my end.
Thanks again
