I vote for Deep onion. DeepOnion is an anonymous cryptocurrency that is natively integrated with the TOR network which enables you to send and receive the payments anonymously and hide your identity. 
It is integrated with Obfs4 public key obfuscation protocol on top of the tor network, its purpose is to hide the message content protocol details so all traffic appears to be random traffic.

$XVG To be straightforward, I can't trust how Verge essentially went unnoticed a year ago while other protection driven monetary forms detonated. It is simply so underestimated. XVG has an extraordinary and developing group/engineer group. On the off chance that I can look past the couple of early hiccups en route they have colossal potential at an extremely modest rate as of now. i do recommend DeepOnion too

My favorite coins in privacy are Ripple and Monero. You only read about their technologies. Such projects are the future.

http://bitsum.money/img/2018/02/bitsumss.png  BITSUM (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2952864) is the Best and reason is its Handled from telegram and its not only privacy coin but it is messenger based. BITSUM use CRYPTONIGHT Algo.

http://bitsum.money/img/2018/02/bitsumss.png BITSUM Have High Degree of Confidentiality in Transactions.All your Transaction will Be Private and Secure, Send BITSUM Anywhere in the World.

Monero uses Ring Confidential Transactions to improve privacy and security. By bundling the sending and receiving of public keys with older network transactions, a mixer is created that is capable of obfuscating addresses. On top of Ring Confidential Transactions, XMR makes use of ring signatures and Stealth addresses to hide both the sender and the receiver in a transaction.

Are you kidding right? On which planet in Solar system highly centralized token Ripple is privacy coin?  ;D

I am not technical expert but I do prefer Monero. Zec is somehow compromised cause of premine. But for all of them it's going to be hard times as soon as mimblewimble is close to release in main net of Bitcoin

I used to root for Digital Note (XDN) for a while, till the devs pretty much abandoned the project. Then I switched to Monero.
Lately I've been reading a bit about PIVX, so I might have a 50/50 split between XMR and PIVX in my portfolio in the near future.

How exactly are you supposed to retain privacy when using a messenger that is linked to mobile phone numbers...?

Monero is the NO. 1 I would say. Privacy in this field is really important considering that cryptocurrencies were also created to be fully anonymous. Privacy shouldn't be taken irresponsibly.

Its privacy,
Mobile number is only used to create an account but no one can find your wallet address using that mobile number.
if you think that it is linked with mobile number and can be traced then all wallet installed in a system can also be traced using IP address.

mobile number has nothing to do with that

MONERO

MONERO, AEON

I think IoT Chain is pretty cool. They handle security of IoT, by protecting your user data from botnet attacks. https://cointelegraph.com/news/unknown-heroes-little-coins-that-generate-big-profit

Moneo is the best, but for me i was using zcash instead of monero itself with zksnarks and remember ethereum has implemented zksnarks update to the platform and there will be an update from zcash developer like zkstarsk in the future.

Montero is nice but zcash also big player too
Btw other coin that you would invest as it seem undervalued for now that's PIVX it will double when market become stable

IMO still monero, zcash & zcoin are the safest invesment privacy coin. cause it is on top 100 market cap list, huge community, so many excahnger market and I think had a good development to. but  I always keep my eyes on a low cap privacy coin like intense coin ( ITNS ), zoin and DERO, for me they are have a great potential.

Monero has been a popular alternative cryptocurrency among enthusiasts who favor anonymity over privacy.improved anonymity was added to the protocol just a few months ago, as confidential transactions were introduced in January of 2017.All of the network nodes have transitioned to accommodate for confidential transactions without any hitch.Ever since this implementation, the Monero price has started to rise a bit across exchange.

Some of good privacy coins apart form the list you'll shared are,

Xspec - only 20 mil circulation

PIVX - 50 mil circulation

On low end upcoming coin - COLX

Verge is a crypto currency built with the Bitcoin plug, but with an emphasis on privacy, Verge began life as a DogeCoinDark back in 2014, making it one of the old anonymous coins.

Altcoin is popular because of its privacy features including Dash, Monero, and ZCash. I chose Monero because it has various features that make it really look like cash.

Zcash and Monero are probably the top privacy cryptocurrencies at the moment.  Stratis will be releasing tumblebit in the breeze wallet which will offer anonymous bitcoin transactions.  When this happens, you can add Stratis to the list of top privacy cryptocurrencies.
