BTC Trezor wallet would be the best option, but with 4 USD I think Blockchain will be enough good. BTC Trezor hardware wallet is as far as I know the safest BTC wallet 
I agree BTC Trezor is one of the best option but it still depends on how much do you need to storeKeep in mind that BTC could go up in value, and having that secured is still of importance. Not to mention if you plan to get more deeply invested later, it's better to secure everything now, rather than later.
I'm not very familiar with other wallet types but I use blockchain too. IP restriction, strong pass and cold wallet is enough, I guess?
Sign up an account with coinbase and xapo. They are great online wallets and there is not much to worry about with them. You can download a wallet directly to your computer to be more safe, but if your computer is remotely accessed, anyone who is able to get on it will have access to your wallet. 
i believe that the safest way and really simple is to print several copies of a paper wallet and keep it in your safe or something like that in this way you can create a safe cold storage

I think blockchain
download your owned wallet and don't use the public or exchange services as wallet that's the safest way to keep bitcoins
You have to download your desktop wallet and keep safe the signature key and then it's safe because you can keep your coins for long time as known. Try also to don't invest in the HYIP or the ponzi schemes to don't lose your coins
windows wallet 
For me blockchain.info is the safest, though I guess is not.

I myself use electrum and I think that this is the safest and simplest. No worries about big blockchain data, 2FA to secured your account and more important it's on your PC

I usually stored bitcoin on a cold wallet when taking care of large sum of it , specifically I used paper wallet and store it where it can be safe.

I agree that paper wallet is the safest, I don't know if it is most simple. From the physical aspect paper alone could be dangerous. It needs to be covered in plastic to avoid damage.
A safe and cost effective wallet is a paper wallet but you need a clean android phone to scan qr code and spend it. If you want cheap but very secure storage, get raspberry pi and install electrum on it. Download raw transaction on online computer and sign it on the offline raspberry pi.

I dont know exactly but you could use a combo of hardware and software wallet.
Keep 30% on hot wallets ready to spend and the rest of them in cold storage safely, probably on hardware wallet that you trust.

I also want to point out that Coinbase is backed by tens of millions in investment dollars. I'm sure their investors wouldn't like it if they started arbitrarily screwing over their members. The investment is a long-term play, not a short one. And they're one of the few that are fully licensed for LEGAL transacting.

As far as us it's pretty safe to say they are the number one exchange at the current time. And you are right they are backed by big money. You could argue they have done the most to be legal as far as US exchanges. Yes it changes on what country you are in which works best for you.
But I suggest everyone read their insurance. It is pretty impressive on the amount it covers. Make sure to use 2FA. But if you have to keep a hot wallet it is not bad.
Not sure if it's the same now as I haven't had an issue, but wondering if they still have the massive delay on some transactions. I sent one in 2013 that took almost 48 hours to finally hit the network.
Anymore I do a lot more mining then buying. But I did not have problems with them that I remember.
Only thing I remember being a pain was gaining levels there. For activity and money the more the higher the level. At one point you can get instant for a certain amount. Others you wait days which is no fun but understandable.
There are stock brokers that will allow you to purchase instantly, and I'd think that's along the lines of Bitcoin (i.e., once they have the stocks, they can't necessarily liquidate them at the cost they bought them for). Circle allows instant purchases, I believe.
