Multibit HD is my recommendation
1. Desktop wallet
2. Hardware wallet interface option
3. Hierarchically deterministic
But now a days people look for multi-signature wallet?

Coinbase is good and secured via f2a and i think the we need to secured our coins is to install updated anti virus because some trojan virus can collect your information.....
Yes Coinbase is exchange company but its wallet is not bad and secure.
In desktop wallets, Bitcoin core is the safest because it downloads the entire blockchain history. Unlike electrum and multibit, there was a vulnerability which could have caused the loss of money a few months back as miners were spv mining.
but downloading the entire blockchain isnt really good as it can affect your daily transactions IMHO
how does it affect the daily transactions you are doing? i run bitcoin core with the full blockchain and everything works perfectly fine. beside that, you are also helping the network as your client with full blockchain functions as a node.
maybe he means that the process of synchronizing with the network would take long for him. so if you want to spend your coins you have to wait a long time first before being able to do so.

The most secure wallet is one in which you maintain possession of your private keys. The easiest way to do that and still be able to easily make day to day transactions with complete protection against malware is to use a hardware wallet. Forget paper wallets or brain wallets.
There are several hardware wallets on the market but the most widely reviewed and accepted is Trezor. It is easy to learn to use, costs $99 and will also work with Mycelium wallet on your Android phone. Trezor has their own web wallet that works fine but you can also use it with several other wallets.
When you initialize your Trezor you are given 24 words (the seed) that you can use to regenerate your wallet if you lose it or break it. As long as you never lose that list of 24 words your bitcoin are completely secure. If you doubt the utility and security of Trezor just visit their website and read the reviews.

I think since you send your bitcoin to offline wallet and does not spread your bitcoin address you should be safe.
It does not matter if it is paper wallet or trezor(which i prefer more) but it cost 99$ and paper wallet few cents to print it.
For large amounts of money, nothing beats a properly generated paper wallet. In my opinion, then a paper wallet is more safe than a trezor. It does not matter if it is paper wallet or trezor(which i prefer more) but it cost 99$ and paper wallet few cents to print it.
Most secure wallet in general i think that already try and use by many people and always have an update on it..
I use XAPO online wallet and I find it quite good and safe because each login they will send one time password to registered mobile number so I find it quite safe unless some one destroy their server it self then do not know. But those are worst cases and also if one think those worst cases then no wallet will be safe to use.
If you want to be completely secure you should use a brain wallet or a Paper wallet. you can use Armory or Electrum to generate the paper wallet.
It's still not %100 secure. Actually it's one of the least secure thing. Paper can be destroyed easily, for example with water.
I think were talking about security from others. Paper can be laminated to make it be more resistant. Even can store copies on USB. Just keep them safe.
As far as security if done right paper wallets really are very secure. And you should store them where they are not effected by elements like water, or where others see them.
If you want to be completely secure you should use a brain wallet or a Paper wallet. you can use Armory or Electrum to generate the paper wallet.
I think that you have not seen the last "hack" for the brain wallets.
Someone was able to "hack" to get the passphrase of the wallets and easily get the bitcoins.

Everyone is mentioning their favorite wallets, but not technically the "most secure" wallets. By definition, the "most secure" would be a wallet not connected to the internet, so the bitcoins cannot be stolen - which would be an offline wallet. Not a web wallet, desktop wallet, or mobile wallet. All those wallets are of course great, work well, and most are built with security in mind, but aren't the "most secure" way of safekeeping your bitcoins; the best way is offline cold storage.

Good to see Electrum is the first ranking on your site
You can add a hardware wallet review too, for reference(LTC guy thread): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/overview-bitcoin-hardware-wallets-secure-your-coins-899253
Hey thats great, thanks! We just added Ledger and Case. You can see all the hardware wallet listings here: http://bitcoinx.io/wallets/?s=hardware
But this list has some good info for us to pull from. I'll review it and see if we can add some more hardware wallets so people can rate and review them!

It's missing a few wallets at least I think. And also there is hardware wallets. These (normally) rank between cold wallet and hot wallet.
They are not as good as the cold or paper wallet. But far better then most hot wallets, or internet connected wallets.
Thanks. Actually, we are reviewing hardware wallets now and should be updating our site with some listings in the next few days with some soon!
