I ordered a Nationalgenographic Project DNA kit. Do you know anything about it bro and what do you think of it? I read its good for ethnicity, doesnt give health or relative matching results though but good for ethnicity estimates. I will have a second genotyping and raw data then.

For MyHeritage I think it's free to upload your raw data so by the time their product is fully released they might provide ethnicity reports for a certain price or even for free since it is free to upload(so far).
From my point of view NatGeo's ethnicity estimate analysis looks very similar to the Gedmatch calculators (that's just my opinion). They also provide your Denisovan and Neanderthal admixture breakdown; well most of the other tests don't have have a Denisovan calculator.
What I heard NatGeo is great at is haplogroups. I heard it provides greater detail than 23andme.

This looks very interesting.
I legitimately may do this test. As, I really do want to see if my German Ancestry pops up.

Ethnicity results currently include 25 ethnicity categories, but MyHeritage expects to increase that number to over 100 with its 'Founder Population Project' over the next few months. So far it is free to upload raw data from the big-3, but whether they will provide ethnicity reports free of charge is still to be decided upon. You can still order their cheek-swab kit though which ships to most countries around the globe, and this package does provide full genetic ethnicity reports.
.....Well 100+ reference populations sounds mighty impressive I must say; 23andme only breaks down your ancestry into 31 populations. MyHeritage as a genealogy platform/website company also boasts a 17.2million members userbase worldwide, which if I'm not mistaken is higher than Ancestry.com's.
