I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
Web wallets are easy to use like coinbase.. its perfect for newbie people and its super fast
But it isn't secure as we have no access to private keys. I would go for Blockchain.info wallet rather coinbase and such wallets.

+1 for Multibit.
pretty good choice if you want a light weight wallet.
instead of dl all the block chain, etc. It also has the $ denominations.
Yup and OS cross platform.

bitcoin core is ok but keep in mind that you have to download the whole blockchain that is about 26 GB now for the first time and after that download the addition to it which is growing by dayso can anyone tell me if bitcoin core is ok?

Electrum and blockchain.info are the best combo in my opinion

Bitcoin core is a great wallet. Its major pros IMO are the coin control function and that you don't need to trust any third party unlike using thin clients. The only downside is that you need to keep a copy of full blockchain data on your machine.
For comparison of different wallets, you can take a look at https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

thank you all for helping, i decided to go with Blockchain.info for now. maybe after i got more comfortable, i will switch todesktop
Keep in mind, you can have more than one wallet! So experiment and find whatever you want!
I think either Blockchain web wallet or Multibit 
As others have mentioned, I'd recommend an online wallet for everyday purchases, but for long term storage, cold storage is the way to go. I'd recommended an encrypted paper wallet or a Verso card.
I suggest GreenAdress: https://greenaddress.it/en/
GreenAddress allows you to choose an online wallet or a desktop one.

Blockchain.info as an online wallet is sure and safe, good choice!

it's a good choice make sure you protect it with 2fa or sms code.

then i found out about SPV, and i think both Multibit and Electrum uses that. can anyone tell me how much does each of these two take up space on me hard drive? and also which one do you suggest
I am using Electrum, and the whole data directory (consisting of my wallet file and the blockchain header file) on my pc is only 26MB large. I prefer Electrum over Multibit because it is deterministic.
Take blockchain.info if you want an online wallet and bitcoin core for desktop wallet.
