Read around the forum, you'll find a lot of opinions.
The traditional thinking is if you have control of your wallet's private keys you'll be able to select which coin version to proceed with your balance, should a hard fork occur. So paper and hardware wallets fall into that category.
Some online wallets and exchanges have produced what their intent is, what they'll offer their customers, how they'll handle the various outcomes...but one can never be 100% sure that reality unfolds as planned.
Keep in mind that if/when Segwit is signaled on August 1st it will take through November for all nodes (or the majority required) to adopt Segwit. So where ever you leave your coins plan to leave them there through November.
Good luck to you!
