I would do something you haven't mentioned on these polls:
. Put the coins on a laptop
. Put the coins in an offline armoury wallet
. disconnect the laptop from the internet until you actually need to coins to spend
. If you're really paranoid, stick the laptop in a safe where no one can get at it
Why would I use a laptop? If you need to run off and you want to transfer your coins somewhere the laptop has everything you need and after that you just need to enable wi-fi again and can transfer the coins somewhere else, virtual servers and the like would only be safe depending on certain situations but for most people I think a laptop would be best another reason being that USB's would be far too easy to lose because of their size and you wouldn't notice if someone took it.
I can understand the idea of paper wallets but I think they're ridiculous, like fiat money they're easy to tear and you can set them on fire pretty easily, not something I would have a lot of money attached to.

What's the difference between "Paper Wallet stored somewhere sercure and safe" and
"stored in a paper wallet each address with only 5-10% of the total amount"?
Both votes are for paper wallet?
"stored in a paper wallet each address with only 5-10% of the total amount"?
Both votes are for paper wallet?

Armory M of N backup of an offline created wallet stored in multiple different physical locations.
Why do people still talk about secure storage as if Armory hasn't solved that problem for years?Armory works. Just use it.

I would probably personally copy mine over 4-5 USB drives and maybe an SD card or three left in a safe.

I was curious as what most users though would be the most secure way to keep bitcoins safe. Please vote in the poll and if you have a better idea please post it and I will add it to the poll.
