As newbie I take this as an opportunity to explore myself concerning this business. I downloaded different wallet apps to discover it and while doing this I also make reading on a forum with the discussion about this matter just to see which wallet is using by many. I usually check the rank of a person. So far I'm using the coinomi, myether, coinbase, and coins.ph(philippines).

I think you should also use the myetherwallet because its also used by my friends and its trusted.
try trezor or if you do not want spend money for it and have an old laptop, make a clean install of the system and install full wallet of a desired crypto and use it only for this, no other things.
Should I just write it on a piece of paper? What do you guys use?
Yes, paper wallets are among the safest wallets you can use. There are risks as well though...
Other safe options include hardware wallets and cold storage.
Anyway you can use any wallet you want, but there are 3 main things to keep in mind in order to have your funds really safe:
1. The safest wallets are never online. Thus you cannot spend their money, but you can only store it for the long term.
2. To be really safe, backup your private keys and store them in - at least - 3 different places (for example a piece of paper, a USB stick and maybe your brain).
3. It's not important only which wallet you use, but also who can access such wallets. Stolen funds can come even from relatives, friends or collagues. Take care of your wallet, private keys, seed and store their informations only to very trusted people (for example your wife/husband).
It depends on what currencies you hold. My favorite way to store is a hardware wallet. It is a physical device, secure, not subject to malware on a computer when using the device, affordable. A few options are Trezor https://trezor.io/, Ledger https://www.ledgerwallet.com/ or Keepkey https://www.keepkey.com/.
what wallet ? bitcoin or other coins ? just make it as clear question then we can answer your question.
As the user is posting it on bitcoin forum obviously it will be for bitcoin wallet itself.
Blockchain is the safest wallet
Blockchain is the safest but coinbase is the safest as well as more user friendly.

You didn't tell us what crypto wallet you are asking for. If my guess is right, it should be Bitcoin. You can choose armoury or Electrum wallet and then save up the revealed seeds for wallet recovery if lost. I know some campaign managers here who use armory.
The wallet safest to used is the coin.ph because, is the best wallet that you used than other wallets.
The bitcoin wallet i use is myetherwallet it is safe as long as you can't share to others your private key. Their are so many wallet that can you use, you need to secure your privacy to prevent from hacking etc.
Hardware wallet, if you want to pay. Otherwise, You can use blockchain wallet; it is safe.
A hardware wallet like a trezor or ledger is the safest wallet imo
The bitcoin wallet I use is blockchain wallet and coins.ph wallet.The blockchain wallet has high security so my bitcoin currency can be safe and many of bitcoiner using this wallet. For my coins.ph wallet, i use it for withdrawal. Most of people in this forum from the Philippines are using it to get cash out.
If you're talking about a bitcoin or ethereum wallet, then definitely use hardware wallets. Specifically, Trezor, Ledger Nano S, or Keepkey; with your recovery seed written non-digitally, like on a piece of paper. That definitely should be safe enough.
I use MyEtherWallet & Waves.io wallets outside of exchange wallets both seem safe as long as u keep your #'s safe imo
