I like coinbase for short/medium term storage since it's convenient and has great protection.
Blochchain.info for short term storage. Mostly if I need btc for a day or week.
Blockchain.info IOS wallet (which can be synced to your regular blockchain wallet) if I intend to purchase from any site with QR code available (not all sites do). QR codes really do make everything easier especially when out and about.
I don't hold btc in any one place long term. It's always invested in one thing or another such as a service, alt coin, asic, or something else.

bitcoin-qt is the best for wallet. Most secure too.
I'm using multibit in desktop and blockchain.info in my phone. With multibit you don't have download large blockchain. And with blockchain.info you can download a back up and you can open it easily on multibit. Blockchain.info cannot access your online wallet because it is encrypted in their server.
How about coinpocket? IOS app is available for it, and it looks really easy to use.

Only put money on online wallets that you are willing to lose.
Store your savings offline with something like the Armory wallet or generating your own public/private key with VanityGen or at the very least use the standard client and encrypt your wallet.
For spending money you can use online wallets like blockchain.info or any of the other established exchanges. I keep a few BTC on MtGox for spending money.

Since all that happened with Mt GOx, what do you use now for spending money?

Cold wallet based on RaspberryPi
------------------------------------------------------------
Well i personally using blockchain, it's nice for a hot wallet, especially the android apps. I feel safer when i access my wallet through my phone than through my laptop
MultiBit for me, don't know much about its security, though.
No I'm pretty sure you don't have control over any private kes - all you have is your account so if they decide to close it for some reason you'll lose access to all of your funds. Guys if you're storing anything more than BTC2 I would suggest you just buy a Pi for $30 and set up a cold storage signing system using Armory/Electrum. Doesn't cost a lot to have a secure system implemented.

Coinbase for me.
Heads up: 3rd party wallets like Coinbase are not real wallets. They are held by a 3rd party. Those bitcoins are not under your control. This defeats the "trustless" nature of bitcoin. If you don't control the private keys, you don't control the bitcoins.
Let Gox be a lesson to you....
i never use it before
so i think we must avoid coinbase if we want full control of our keys

not one walet safe because they all have the same probability to lose
The best way so far are to secure walet your own by making a backup file and save it in external storage and away from the internet, as if still connected to the internet then there will be cookies that could be misused

That's not necessarily true. 3rd party web wallet (Instawallet, Inputs.IO, Coinbase) < Online wallet (Blockchain.info) < Desktop wallet (Electrum, Multibit, Core).

For me, I like the Bitcoin Core.
Simple and secure: http://blockchain.info/
Blockchain.info wallets accessed via browser are still, as far as I know, vulnerable to Javascript exploits. It is highly recommended that you keep the majority of your coins on a desktop wallet, preferably in cold storage.

yep, still the best IMO.

I use Blockchain.info for the coins that I want to have access to everwhere. On my mobile phone the Bitcoin Wallet (works great with QR-codes!) from the Android Play Store. The rest you store on a safe computer with the QT client (make sure to backup your keys and safe them in a secure place!).
