I like the coinbase.
Check it out if you also like that bitcoin wallet.

The major problem with coinbase is that you don't know your private keys so beware and do not store big amount on it.

They are one of the few that actually have insurance for holdings. That is why they do not allow private key to be taken. They want it locked down to meet requirements to be insured.

If you get hacked for your own fault you do not get insurance. If someone hacked the entire coinbase site then yes there should be insurance paid out to people. So keep this in mind as coinbase is not the typical online wallet with this.

I used Multibit and it was relatively good and easy to use, the new edition seems more complicated than before though and heavier to load on the computer.

Blockchain in my opinion is the first, best known, and safe

I can agree with this statement. Blockchain seems to be the most reliable. Besides it I've tried Green Address which has mobile client. It worked fine until one time when tech difficulties appear, due to not responding support I wasn't able to login for a month. Back to Blockchain.

Blockchain.info isn't the most reliable or even considered reliable. They have various vulnerabilities which caused user's private keys getting exposed to attackers. AFAIK, Greenaddress.it does not store your private keys. Your keys are stored in the mnemorics. Without it, you can't access the wallet. As such, you should backup your wallet. Blockchain.info does have access to your encrypted wallet which is a major security problem. I agree with greenaddress.it being slightly buggy though, but I have no problems after one incident.

Additionally, greenaddress.it allows users to impose spending limits.

If for small amount of spending cash this is probley right. But if talking about all your holdings cold wallets still win hands down.

There is a security provide by not being online or connected to a computer using the internet that cold wallet provides. No online wallet can provide.

For me and for everyday use the best is Mycelium; that is if you want to use it on a mobile device. As for the Desktop you might take a look at Armory or ellectrum. Online wallets I guess Ninky is good but I prefer blockchain.info

What is the best bitcoin wallet?

Well I don't know if it's the best, but it's the best for me. It's the blockchain.info wallet. I'vemade it a few years ago and still using the same one.

Mycelium is really good, blockchain people are joking right?

Nah I don't think so, maybe they just wanna lose their BTC Grin

But seriously I think those are kinda newbies to bitcoin who suggest blockchain as it was there first wallet. Personally blockchain was also one of my first wallet ( next to coinbase) so I think that's the reason why people suggest blockchain.

Blockchain.info does promise the full control of your private key and people would be quite convinced that it is the most secure. They advertised it as open sourced and most would assume that they are transparent. Whereas these may be true, they are unreliable.

the best for me is mycelium on mobile as it is always on my side

I HIGHLY suggest looking into problems some have had with mobile wallets. If you are rooted or jailbroken the risk goes up even more. I would not store more then spending money on on mobile.

Cold storage is a lot better if done right. And key words are done right.

Yes, when we go for mobile wallet, we must have latest anti-virus installed. Otherwise, there are lot of possibilities for other applications to access our wallet files. That's the reason I never support for mobile wallets.

It applies for desktop wallets as well. Getting virus on your phone is not impossible but it is significantly harder than desktop. The risk is very small unless you install other apps and click on the allow unknown sources in the settings. It's worth noting that there were vulnerabilities in RNG previously on Android and there were apps on app store getting infected with virus.
