I can't decide which usenet I should get. It's either newshosting or giganews. Newshosting is cheaper, but doesn't have ssl encrytion and giganews is more expensive, but has ssl encryption. I was wondering which one is better and do you really need ssl encryption if usenet is already safe enough. thanks.

If you are in a pretty civilized country without ISP spies at your door it shouldn't be a problem to skip the SSL thingie.
If you where to get caught doing anything it would be through you account on the server anyway (like they go to Giganews and requests account info because you are uploading).

You can skip SSL.
Giganews/Newshosting won't give away any name/account info if there is no court order. And nobody cares who is downloading, just the ones uploading.

SSL encryption for newsgroups is totally useless and a waste of money.

SSL is not needed. It just makes noobs feel safer.

Total waste of money unless you think someone will intercept your packets before reaching the server and, unless you're a high priority criminal or terrorist, i don't see that happening. But if you are then the government/agency would just go to the newsgroup provider directly
