Do you remember where were you reading about the best desktop client?
There is nothing that can prevent you from losing coins from a wallet that is stored on an infected system. The malware will be able to copy your wallet-file as well as record any password you type in.
If you want to protect against malware threats, you should employ a cold wallet on a machine that is not connected to the internet. The Armory wallet software can be used to manage such a setup.
If you use a regular wallet on an online machine, then there are no major differences in security between the major wallet clients.

I remember reading something a while back (like 2 months ago) about about what's supposed to be THE best desktop client to use for managing wallets. I could be way wrong on this because I was reading a ton of stuff when I came across it, but it was touted to be the most secure one available and that it could be used on an infected system without worrying about coin loss or something.
I don't remember too much about it other than a f ton of people here said they use it.
I sorta have an idea on what the client name is now that I'm really thinking about it but I kinda wana hear what everyone has to say in case I am wrong.
Edit: Right now I use blockchain and with recent issues with them, it's got me thinking of alternatives since I still have almost a full BTC in shared send limbo that this CZ guy keeps saying is please let us know if you need more help without telling me how they can help me out since this was their F up.
