I'm not sure physical wallet can give you convenience. my advice you should use online wallet. Why ? because you can use it anywhere anytime. different from the physical wallet that its use is limited.

Physical wallets are prone to being lost, wiped, damaged.

I prefer to just memorize the private key.

You seem to be a smart guy if you can memorize your private keys. I stick with a trezor for my big wallets and online solutions like blockchain for coins i want to spend.
Coinbase is also quite good btw.
No way this guy remembers his private keys, he must be insane with combinations (or have a photographic memory) if he is able to remember them with 100% accuracy.

I have coinbase as a payment wallet, and I use a paper wallet (With admittedly not very much on it) for a storage and safe wallet.

Paper wallets are good for locking in a safe, and a Trezor is best for taking with you.

To spend securely with a Trezor, you only need remember your PIN, and carry a USB cable to connect with your Android phone. (The Trezor firmware keeps someone from brute-forcing your PIN).

To spend securely with a paper wallet, you first have to make sure your phone or computer is secure, then scan the wallet, transfer its value to your online wallet, spend, then, if the change is significant, transfer it to a new paper wallet.

I use paper wallets in my safe for long-term storage, and a Trezor to replenish the wallet on my phone when it gets low. I keep about the same amount in my phone wallet that I keep in fiat in my leather wallet.

Do what Satoshi did. Memorize a 13 word mnemonic while high on mushrooms, then forget it.

Trezor is the best and most secure in my opinion but its hard to beat a paper wallet since the cost is next to nothing vs more money that could be used to buy more bitcoin. A hardware wallet i suppose is slightly more convenient for spending as well since you dont need to empty the whole thing anytime you want some btc.

Personally prefer paper wallets over the hardware type although I have only ever heard good things about Trezor, yet comes at a premium.

Not sure why, but a physical electronic wallet like trezor just doesn't sit right with me.  Would rather stick with a good old paper wallet.

Currently using a paper wallet for cold storage & the mycelium android app for transactions (QR codes make it so easy)

I think Trezor is best for now.
But if you ask a security issue, both have a good security.

Trezor is by far the most popular and reputed one but IMO wasting money on these physical wallets wouldn't be of any use but just to show off and if I am storing huge amounts then i would just go with a clean hard drive or USB wallet.

I just reviewed some physical bitcoin wallets and found that trezer is the most secured and trusted physical bitcoin wallet, but it is pretty expensive campare to others.. If i were in your place then I will definitely go with trazer no metter it is little bit expenseive to others.

My friend has a ledger wallet and he says that it is really good. I would definitely recommend it for anyone that doesn't want to spend too much money on a hardware wallet.
