would not mtgox count as a wallet if you just want to store btc and then be able to
send it out to anyone else or add to it or etc...?

if yes.. mtgox.

mtgox wallet has the problem that you are unable to play satoshidice like games

i would use blockchain.info

+1 for blockchain.info. It has paper wallet and brain wallet support too. And I read on their website the wallet backups can be decrypted with Multibit, so even if they go down, there should be no problem because they don't know your private keys, and the backup can still be decrypted.

Not an online wallet but Iprefer Armory for security. Paper back ups, offline wallet etc. I havent found anything more secure.

+1 Armory and it is security is amazing! no online wallet would be able to provide that level of security.

IMO, it has to be blockchain.info:

cool interface
nice way of tracking transaction and bitcoin adresses
very flexible send options

high security:
- private keys get decrypted only on the client side in a (usually) sandboxed browser
- two factor authentication (yubikey, google authenticator)
- browser addons which check the validity of the javascript code sent from blockchain.info

automatic encrypted wallet backup sent via e-mail, also dropbox support

brain wallet support

iphone app

minus:
~~no android app~~

+1

yeah that sounds good. but maybe less diverse if i want to send to multiple people and track transactinos, is it in depth?

I will admit keeping track of who you sent what to is not easy unless I am missing some new feature.
I do not think I can put a label next to a bitcoin payout address. But you can see your transaction history
and at least mtgox has been through the whole security mess and learned from it.

Can only speak from my experience, But I find http://electrum-desktop.com/ very handy, and with recovery words too.

The only reason I use blockchain.info over Electrum is that Electrum's Android client is pitifully basic to the point of being unusable.

Just to clarify that. The yubikey mode that is supported is for their static password, not the One Time Password (OTP) which protects against a replay attack.

What currently is the best online btc wallet?

A few different factors that will weigh on that.

If you want simplicity, Paytunia is probably the simplest. It is available for web access and as an app for Android as well (the iOS app got yanked by Apple from the App store).

Another simple solution is InstaWallet.org which also has a mobile app for Android. The problem is this is a low security app (no password, just URL). If iPhone suport is needed, EasyWallet.org can be used as a web app from a mobile where a barcode app is used for scanning QR codes.

All of those are hosted (shared) EWallets.

A hybrid EWallet doesn't store your keys. Blockchain.info/wallet is the leading hybrid EWallet. They too have a Android moblle app, and an iOS version as well (which may or may not have access to the wallet, depending on which intern at Apple's approved it before intervention from a higher source in the company.)

Bitcoin Spinner for Android is a mobile app that uses Simplified Payments Verification (SPV) (i.e., a server that holds the blockchain) but there is no web interface that accesses the wallet.

So all of these have tradeoffs.
