If there was a legit cloud mining service, they would just mine for themselves and make even more money than if they had to give some of the profit to you.
When you say Antminer, I assume you are referring to the Antminer S9, which can only mine sha256d coins. There are some popular altcoins that you can mine with the S9, such as Bitcoin Cash and Peercoin. Most antminer models are designed to mine altcoins, e.g. any coin with an algorithm besides sha256d. I personally mine a variety of coins, but I convert them all and only hold on to Bitcoin and Zcash, currently. It all depends on what makes sense for you.
