I just use bitcoin-qt and keep a couple copies of my wallet file in different, secure, web and offline locations.
"My Wallet" at https://blockchain.info/wallet/ has already been suggested and is good for beginners. Enabling the two-factor authentication option is recommended for security.
If you have a little patience and are really keen on Bitcoin and thus eager to assist the Bitcoin network, and assuming you have reasonable computing resources to hand, i.e. no ten-year-old laptop running XP like molasses in the Yukon (in January during a cold snap!), then download Bitcoin-Qt from http://bitcoin.org/ (follow the links), install it, wait for the blockchain to sync up et voilà! The more you have this program running, the more you are assisting the network as a full node.
For storing more than pocket change worth of bitcoin, an offline wallet is the best and safest option. "Hot" wallets running live on your internet-connected computer are as secure as your computer itself. Beware viruses/malware!

+1 for blockchain. Even though it's been compromised recently, it is still the most "non-dodgy" wallet.
Multibit. Does not require downloading of the entire block chain.
Armory for savings and cold storage, Blockchain for spending money. That's what I do anyway.
Armory imo.
I tried bitcoin-qt, but that seemed to fuck up for me, but now I'm using Electrum and that's working like a charm
"if you need to ask you should just use blockchain.info "
That's a great way to put it. He means no disrespect with that either. When it's time to download a client, you'll know exactly which one you need.
Bitcoin is still in its infancy and all the wallets are a bit "quirky". They are lacking in some features, and you have to make sure you understand the wallet you choose, or a mistake can lead to losing your bitcoins. That being said, I'd suggest looking into the following:
Armory
Bitcoin-Qt
Electrum
MultiBit

ha ah ahahahaa hah ahahaha
Depending where you are in your bitcoin education, I wouldn't even download a wallet, I'd recommend creating a blockchain.info wallet.
Ditto
They are sort of advanced and "if you need to ask you should just use blockchain.info "

What do you want to use it for? What is your use case?
