keeping your bitcoin safely is very important. unlike other types of money controlled by banks, bitcoin gives you many option to store and control your money. that's why companies like luno etc. are founded not just to make it easy for you to buy, sell, and use bitcoin, but to keep it safe. we do this by storing your private key in a bank iron safe with access such as fingerprints and retina scans. not just an iron safes, but various iron safes on many continets.

Blockchain wallet, never actually understood the utility of hardware wallets besides yourself holding ytou actual coins
You will understand when you get hacked, people think that is never going to happen to them until it does, I'm not wishing that happens to you but if you have a lot of bitcoin why not make the effort to protect your bitcoin, it is better to be safe than sorry.

I just have a small amount of bitcoin therefore online storage at blockchain.info is sufficient "although I don't recommend it", PC wallets are better since you at least control your bitcoins completely but sometimes inconvenient during use.

I have a software and a Hardware wallet. In my software wallet i store my bitcoin which i use to buy other altcoins. The bitcoins on my hardware wallet i use just to hold the coins. If you own more then one bitcoin i would recommend a Hardware wallet.

I only use online wallets for all of my coins but I know there's a risk of doing that since nowadays hackers can easily go through to your account once they see a hole/chance. For me,  I make sure that I use a strong password since some of them are placed on an exchange and see we should be responsible in taking care of our coins thats why there's a lot of pre cautions that we can do to ensure security.

Cold wallet stores most of my coins around 75% of my wealth whilst the remaining is kept in a hot wallet on blockchain.info

if I personally save all my wallet.dat files like 10 different USB sticks offline. I have done this since I first started Bitcoin. This is the best choice for me. Simply time-consuming updating of each wallet file because I have so much and they need to be stored in all the sticks again. Better to be safe than sorry. After our missing data do not happen

10!!!

Firstly USB sticks are Inexpensive devices which can be very good for backups for only for a short time because I don't trust them for long-term backup especially if the USB is not plugged in PC for a long time as there is a high risk this/these device(s) can lose their data including the wallet.dat file(s)

As you are updating often them one by one then the reason above^^ doesn't worth much, but what I would suggest you is to encrypt these files when you store in the USB, and probably storing and somewhere else like the hardware wallets which are not costly.

I bought my Ledger Hardware Wallet HW.1 very cheap like $20 at that time probably and it works just perfectly.

I am keeping my Bitcoins currently in a blockchain. I believe that this is currently the surest option. Many people complain, but I never had any problems and I would heartily recommend.

Personally I recommand hardware wallet to store bitcoin because very difficult to hack hardware wallet. But we have to pay hardware wallet. I web wallet is surtable for store coins you dont have money to pay. But don't store Bit coins in exchange account.
