Paper wallet better than cold storage.
Why is that the case? Can anyone share their opinions on that?
I always consider paper wallet is as safe as cold wallet, as long as they are both created in a safe way.

how secure the paper wallet if i create and print it from the websites like bitaddress or etc, do the owner of that website known about the private key 
if you really need to know, you should done ths things without internet so to make it secure.and restart your pc dude!hope it helps!
Instead of running it on an OS that may already be infected, backdoored, keylogged or screenshotted by a virus or trojan horse you've already got, I would recommend running a liveCD and generating the key there. That way there is no chance of an eavesdropper intercepting the key, and it will not be written to the hard drive accidentally even as memory page file. See the last link in my signature.
but make sure that the liveCD is not infected by anybody..
also look at the random generator of the liveCD.. make sure that you get good random numbers.
you see a loot too look at to get a secure paper wallet.
and then, make sure if you print the wallet, that the printer is not infected or store the printed files. (some printer do this)

Download the website, and open it offline on a disconnected computer.
As Dabs said, see here:

Use it offline, quit your browser after using it, and probably restart the computer prior to going back online to be safer. (Or use one that is never online)
