Check out Trezor if you have an android phone and don't trust phone (which is pretty responsible). - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13321397

Ledger also works with android phones I'm working on a guide for it currently.

This question is like asking which car is best. Everyone has their taste and everyone has specific reasons for buying a car. Personally, in the tutorials on my website, I tell new users to start out with Coinbase or Circle to get used to buying, selling, and using Bitcoin. Once they're comfortable I recommend they get a standalone wallet. The one I typically recommend is Copay because they have a version that runs on just about any platform. But the truth is that it's all personal preference and which features are important to you.

Starting directly to hardware wallet or some advanced wallets its not good for a starter.
I also recommend my friends if someone wants to join bitcoin world then coinbase should be the first one and then moving to multi-sig or hardware wallets.

I have been testing a few and have become a big fan of hardware wallets.  If it's a BTC address you will be using activly it is honestly the best bet of keeping it safe.  With using a hardware wallet it's pretty amazing on some that even if computer is infected it could make a transaction and not be compromised (if used correctly).

Also some of them can be tied with an android wallet which I have played with some.  So even though your using your mobile device key is still on hardware wallet and it signs transaction on hardware wallet.  So you can send from  anywhere if you have a android phone and still have the security of a hardware wallet.

Multibit HD or Electrum. Both are "thin" wallets that don't require the whole block chain to sync. Both Developers are available to get in contact with on this forum. Both are deterministic wallets and you can restore them from a seed word, that isn't available for Bitcoin Core QT but I wish it was Smiley

Bitcoin Core-QT is the original "satoshi" wallet and it is recommend it only if you have 20+GB of free hard drive space. You need to wait for the whole blockchain to sync before you can access your wallet or conduct any transaction. This is a major problem. I have a computer that is relatively new and it took 2+ days for the blockchain to download.

i use blockchain.info but sometimes this service can be under DDOS attack and go down. these times i can not check my wallet and can not make transactions. may i use blockchain.info wallet on my bitcoin core at the same time? blockchain.info gives a mobility access too
You can use mycellium wallet for mobile
Back up your private key then restore it in mycellium
Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.wallet&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dmycelium&pcampaignid=APPU_1_s-2HVsbgG8ekuQT9vL2oDg

It depends on how much your storing.  If using it properly and storing a little then a hot wallet is fine.   But don't store a ton of coins in a hot wallet on a phone.

If you do need more then that little amount I have been playing with trezor on mobile device past few day's - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13321397 .  It lets you carry a very secure way and send from mycellium wallet if needed.  So for mobile users with a decent holdings they need to use this might be worth a look.

I really like using coinbase.  I have been using it for some time, but I like the option to be able to trade my BTC for USD easily and then back when I want to.  There are fees, but I think they are fair and when I do the trade and back I usually profit from my trades.

For day-to-day use I have Electrum with some pocket money on my main/trading computer. For bigger transactions, I have an offline/air-gapped machine to sign offline transactions.

The Best Bitcoin Wallet? The hardware wallet, it's expensive, but really safe and secure
Otherwise, Electrum is great if you are new to bitcoins

I have tested a few and the biggest thing hardware wallets have in my mind is keeping the key on them.  They sign the transaction on the device and not on the computer.  So even if a computer had a virus it's not going to give away a wallet file, or seed's, etc. 

So that is huge on if your going to use it keeping transaction signed on the hardware wallet.  And if your are not going to use it and holding for year's or something a proper paper wallet is not bad.  It is all based on what your doing on what is best for you.
