Whilst it is a bit off-topic for this list, the genealogical autosomal 
DNA tests that I have undergone, have, from my experience, in finding 
possible relationships, have been worthwhile, and, even more so, when 
the tests are obtained via a discount offer (that the companies provide, 
from time to time).

I would not be inclined to try anything other than a genealogical DNA 
analysis, from one of these companies, but, I do recommend (elsewhere), 
a particular company for doing the testing and genealogical analysis, 
and, another company for uploading the test data, once available,for 
expanding the pool of available test subjects, thence, the possibility 
of finding extra matches.

But, beyond genealogical DNA analysis, as a consumer, I am disinclined 
to have a genealogical DNA analysis company analyse my DNA for other 
possible indicators, and, that includes such aspects as ethnicity, quite 
apart from whether I am likely to have a larger than normal nose, or, 
likely to end up with a wart on the end of my nose,or likely to develop 
excessive flatulence, etc, etc, etc.
