hello everyone.
i want to choose a wallet to start putting my bitcoins there
from my last post i started here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
now i want to choose from the list but i am a little confused
Q1: should i choose desktop or web wallet?
Q2: from desktop wallets which one to choose?
i realized bitcoin core uses the full node which needs more than 20 GB and growing so i don't want that. and also armory
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 suggest Blockchain.info for online wallet and small amounts for spending and day to day use. because it is easy and also the most popular online wallet and it has been around since 2011 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain.info)i want to choose a wallet to start putting my bitcoins there

for desktop wallet both multibit and electrum are good. and both take up around 25 MB for blockchain headers only i think.
the only difference I found so far is that in multibit you can not change the transaction fee
Multibit doesn't offer an option to change fee but you can do it. Refer to this thread: Multibit: a way to reduce transaction fee
