Don't store your all amount on web wallet or exchanger, better to use cold wallet or desktop wallet.
They not impossible if they collapse.
That depends. There are people that want that their bitcoin are in their hands. For this they prefer the bitcoin qt core wallet which is installed in your computer and then the bitcoin are stored there. Must told that every send of bitcoins from that kind of wallet must be associated with fees paid from the sender (owner of the bitcoins and of this wallet). There are other people that prefer web based bitcoin wallet in which the bitcoin are in the hands of the thirds part even then they have the private keys in they hands (that prevent the steal of bitcoins from these third parties). One of the best of that kind of wallet (the best for me) is coinbase. At coinbase the fees of transactions are paid from coinbase. There are nay and yes for every variant but those are the most important.

Here’s a list of 10 different Best BTC Wallets for secure Bitcoin storage.
Bitcoin Core
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin wallet, originally developed by Satoshi Nakamoto and continually updated by the core Bitcoin development team. While it doesn’t have the advanced features of Armory or the social aspect of Hive, Bitcoin Core is probably the most scrutinized and worked-on wallet out there, making it a trustworthy choice.
One thing to be aware of is the fact that Bitcoin Core is a fully fledged node of the Bitcoin network. So it requires the entire blockchain to run. Bitcoin Core is available on Windows, Linux and Mac, and is also available as a Ubuntu PPA.
Multibit
Multibit is a lightweight software wallet. As with most software wallets, Multibit encrypts your private keys locally (or on a USB stick). One useful characteristic of Multibit is that it doesn’t need to download the entire blockchain to access, send and receive funds. Multibit connects directly to the Bitcoin network and downloads only a small part of the blockchain, making it very fast to use.
Since Multibit doesn’t download the entire blockchain, it also takes up a lot less space on your hard drive, which can be important in some situations. Multibit has also been translated into more than 35 languages and is available on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Electrum
Electrum is another lightweight Bitcoin wallet in the vein of Multibit. Electrum supports deterministic wallets or, in other words, generating multiple wallets from one seed. It also lets you sign and create transactions offline and export what it calls a "root public key", which lets compatible applications monitor your wallet. You can also import and export private keys from other Bitcoin wallets.
Like Multibit, Electrum lets you perform Bitcoin transactions without having to download the entire blockchain, making transactions a lot faster. Electrum uses a network of servers to achieve this. Electrum is available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.
Hive
Hive is a Bitcoin wallet targeted at new users, with some interesting features. For one, Hive has an instant messaging style interface that lets you send and receive Bitcoins quickly and easily. It also has an integrated application platform and comes with some built-in apps that give you easy access to some of the more popular Bitcoin-related services available.
Hive even has an SPV backend to speed up starting time, as well as support for the Tor network for increased anonymity. You can also schedule wallet backups onto Dropbox and Time Machine. Hive is only available on Mac OS X, but is also coming to Android in the near future.
Armory
Armory is one of the most feature-rich and secure software Bitcoin wallets available today. Armory offers three different user modes: Standard, Advanced and Developer. Some of it’s security features include a graphical keyboard to protect against keyloggers, support for deterministic wallets, offline transactions and extensive cold storage options, including fragmented paper wallets.
Offline transactions significantly increase your wallet’s security and protects it from most security risks. It requires the official Bitcoin Core wallet, since Armory doesn’t have any networking features. Armory is available on Windows, Mac and Linux. It’s also available as a Ubuntu PPA.
Blockchain Wallet
Blockchain’s wallet has a few interesting security features designed to overcome some of the security risks inherent in online wallets. For example, Blockchain implements client-side AES encryption, protecting your wallet from a server side hack. It also has support for offline transactions, a double encryption feature and two factor authentification.
Blockchain not only lets you back your wallet up automatically onto Google Drive or Dropbox, but also lets you download your wallet manually. Blockchain also performs regular off-site server side backups every hour. There’s even a mobile wallet version of Blockchain for Android.
Coinbase
Coinbase is an online Bitcoin account, somewhat similar to PayPal. Coinbase also has a built-in Bitcoin exchange where you can buy and sell Bitcoin, and lets you send and receive money directly to and from email addresses. Coinbase is a centralized operation and stores all its Bitcoins on-site, but claims to store 85% of its Bitcoins in offline cold storage.
There are potential security and trust issues with Coinbase, especially since its operators have control over all Bitcoins, but the fact that it’s been heavily backed by prominent venture capital firms makes it less likely that Coinbase will run away with users’ Bitcoins. There is also a Coinbase Android app.
Coinkite
Coinkite is somewhat similar to Coinbase, in that it provides plenty of Bitcoin-related services such as Bitcoin debit cards and payment terminals alongside an online wallet feature. Coinkite uses BIP32 Heirarchical Deterministic (HD) wallets, which are stored in a custom Hardware Security Module (HSM) that is apparently isolated from the Internet. You can even request audit reports from Coinkite.
In the case of closure or failure, Coinkite has promised that it will publicize a symmetric key that contains all the extended private keys that have been distributed to Coinkite users. This will allow users to reclaim their funds from Coinkite, if the service shuts down.
BitAddress Paper Wallet
BitAddress is a web service that generates randomized public and private keys that you can use to receive, spend and store your Bitcoin. The big appeal of BitAddress is that it can create paper wallets. Paper wallets are a particularly secure form of cold storage, since the private key is only stored on a piece of paper and not on the Internet or in any form of software.
Bear in mind that you’ll have to import your private key into some form of digital wallet, if you want to perform transactions. Thus, it’s probably best to use a paper wallet as a complementary form of Bitcoin storage alongside a software or online wallet.
Pi-Wallet
Pi-Wallet is currently the only commercially available hardware Bitcoin wallet. The Pi-Wallet is basically a Raspberry Pi running a software Bitcoin wallet, namely Armory. As such, it has all of Armory’s features in addition to a few perks that only a hardware wallet of this type can provide. For instance, the Pi-Wallet doesn’t have direct Internet access, adding another layer of protection.
The Pi-Wallet is also portable, and as it’s built on a Raspberry Pi that makes it much less susceptible to viruses and Trojans that can be used to steal Bitcoin from your average Windows computer. The site also has instructions on building your own Pi-Wallet.
Bitcoin Core
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin wallet, originally developed by Satoshi Nakamoto and continually updated by the core Bitcoin development team. While it doesn’t have the advanced features of Armory or the social aspect of Hive, Bitcoin Core is probably the most scrutinized and worked-on wallet out there, making it a trustworthy choice.

If you're looking of an online wallet, have a server / VPS, and are capable of installing Wordpress, then I'd highly suggest http://synala.com/
I personally even trust it with my own funds, and Synala is what I use for my wallet. Why trust a 3rd party with your money, when you can easily and securely setup everything yourself for online payments?
If needed, we can offer professional installation for 0.2 BTC. Just contact me if needed.

I personally use an online wallet for the ease of access, for online wallets i would have to choose between coinbase and blockchain.info, both of them are really good, however, and have their respective advantages.
I am a blockchain user so for me blockchain is the best wallet
Online Wallet : Coinbase , XAPO and coins.ph (for sending funds)
Mobile : Mycelium
Desktop : (Still thinking of what is the best)

I personally suggested Electrum, don't ask me why, this is the one of the best bitcoin wallet desktop.
coinbase.com, but today they had a little bug. Now they fixed.
Tried many but finally settled on Trezor.
Have a couple of wallets on Trezor which are all linked into Electrum on desktop and MyCelium on mobile.
Must say that I sleep far better at night since moving everything to the Trezor and the setup I have now is convenient and its very easy to do transactions both from desktop and or mobile while on the go.
I would highly recommend a Trezor, especially now that they have a special going again (just after I bought mine, go figure
)

Multibit, does pretty much what you want to do, lots of wallets, import-exports everything.
I suggest Linux as an OS. I personally am loving it so far.

I use blockchain.info, so I think most good wallet is blockchain
Guys
I am using electrum and went to my private keys to import a paper wallet only to find that the import tab is missing? I only have the "sweep" and "export" tabs? How do I get the import tab?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
There are many bitcoin wallets on the market now and it can be hard to choose the best one for you. In this article Coinfox looks at three mobile wallets: Blockchain, Coinbase, Mycelium

In my Opinion, it is safer for you to have your coins on bitstamp than in your local wallet; at least they protect your coins with 2fa security.
The best wallet options 2 me are:
Online Wallet : Coinbase , XAPO, Kraken, Blockchain
Mobile : Mycelium, Mycelium, Mycelium
Desktop : Armory and Bitcoin Core

I like electrum because it's pretty simple. Well I say simple but it's not really a walk in the park either. But comparatively, i'd say it's pretty hassle-free. My best advice is to shop around and see what works for you. Some people swear up and down by one or another but you are your own best judge.
me too like electrum. But I also like armory.
Electrum is easy to use and no need to download a 30gb block chain.
