Any wallet that gives you access to your private keys would be fine to store BTC during a fork.as for which wallet to keep your bitcoins now to claim the forked coin later, the wallets that @jtipt said are correct except Multibit since that project is no longer maintained. I guess all those wallets that supported the August fork, BCH, will also support this upcoming fork.

I was told Exodus supports hardforks. Is that true and, if so, is that a good option?

bitcoin wallets are bitcoin wallets which means they do not support any fork that is creating an altcion such as bitcoin gold and bitcoin cash. you will have to download that forked altcoin's official wallet in order to be able to use that forked coin.

as for which wallet to keep your bitcoins now to claim the forked coin later, the wallets that @jtipt said are correct except Multibit since that project is no longer maintained. they abandoned it a long time ago and made it official recently.
Couldn't be more wrong Cheesy blockchain.info is supporting bitcoin cash, they will probably add bitcoin gold and byteball if they see people are asking for them to be added.

Store your btc on a offline wallet for a moment before October 25 and then there will be a announcement that all is clear probably there will be here on this forum like the previous fork just make sure you have the private key so that you can access the bitcoin gold on the supported wallet using the same private key to claim it.

I'm planning on moving my BTC to Electrum from Blockchain.info before the coming forks. Is it there any guide on this? I think I have to create a new seed with Electrum but what about the transfer fee from blockchain.info? Someone that has done this, can you please share how you did it?. I'd appreciate it.

What wallet should I use to store my bitcoin and will automatically give me BTG on November?
Good question , Here you can get the official announcement that you should have your bitcoin in a adress that contain a private key and that private key should be open by only you . But here a small problem you will face that is the problem of access your bitcoin gold .
Here According to the fork of last time , I am say that we should use third party paltfroms to store our bitcoin to get easy bitcoin gold .
Here I would like to recommend to use yobit to out the money because last time that was yobit where people didn't needed to get bitcoin cash , they got much faster and easily  .
So all of you can understand well that what you need to do and where you should put your bitcoin to get easily bitcoin gold without doing more activities .

Buddy, if you want to claim your bitcoin gold after the hardfork, you should store your coins in any desktop wallet. Because for all desktop wallets , you have the private keys with you. Electrum is a very good desktop wallet. If you want you can use that. But don't store your coins in online exchange wallets because they may or may not support the new coin, bitcoin gold.

I guess all those wallets that supported the August fork, BCH, will also support this upcoming fork. Electrum did and it is a secured offline wallet where you also hold your keys.

So i guess there's nothing I have to do as long as as my bitcoin is stored in my current bitcoin wallet except on wallet on exchanges. Thanks  Cheesy
Poloniex is an exchange. It awarded its clients who had Bitcoin on its site before the fork the bonus coin, BCH, from the previous fork. I guess some other exchanges did too.

Any wallet that gives you access to your private keys would be fine to store BTC during a fork. Some good desktop wallets being the original bitcoin core wallet, electrum, multibit, etc. On mobile you can store on mycelium or electrum mobile. Don't go with the exchange wallets or wallets that are promising to give BTG automatically after fork, they aren't safe.
