For bitcoin and ethereum, it is generally advised to use hardware wallet if you have large amount of bitcoin or ethereum, after that my ether wallet is good wallet or you can look at mobile wallet too but neither of them can be completely safe.
what are the most trusted wallets for btc and eth
For bitcoin, I have used Electrum and so far this is the most trusted and safest wallet out there besides the Core wallet. However, Electrum is very fast and lightweight as well. You do not need to download the whole blockchain to be able to used it. And fees can be adjusted dynamically. So you have options to adjust it depending on your needs. And for your protection, you need to backup your seeds and private keys just in case something went awry on your laptop or PC.
For ETH - Jaxx wallet supports both ETH and BTC, however, there have been issues lately on Jaxx so I stop using it. I have tried MEW(MyEtherWallet) so far I haven't had anything bad to say about it. But just like any other wallet, backup is needed as well.
There are no trusted wallets. You see, just stick to this simply rule. "not your private keys, not your money. your private keys, your money". You're probably good to go with wallets that provides you your own private keys, such as coinomi, jaxx, mycelium and others. You want extra secure? Use a hardware wallets (trezor, ledger nano, keepkey). The most secure one one would be a paper wallet, print it and store it in a secure location. Done!
