I use a combination of lightweight Desktop wallet, mobile wallet and web wallet.  Among these three, I am most comfortable with lightweight Desktop Wallet using Electrum since I can freely export and import private key in it.  I always love to use the Bitcoin Core wallet but my bandwidth is limited to a 1gb  per day so it will take me 100 days to fully download the blockchain.  Until I got a better connection I guess I have to stick with other options.

If you are uncertain, you can always check https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet  and have the wallet of your choice.

Personally, I use desktop, web and mobile wallets for holding and converting bitcoins (BTC) to FIAT local currencies.

In my desktops, I use exodus, bitcoin electrum, bitcoin core, waves light client, and gulden wallet (which used to be fully compatible with bitcoin):

In the web, I use the wirex/e-coin wallet and payeer e-wallet, which allow me to hold and convert BTC to my local currency (EUR, USD, etc) as well as withdraw with a debit card:

In the android mobile phone I use the smartcoinswallet app developed by bitshares:

Mobile wallet as "checking account" for ease of use that I never keep too much on, multisig paper wallets as "savings account" that I keep it all on for highest level of security. I feel it's one of the best combinations you can have.
I also use mobile wallet because it is convienient and easy to use. Yet, you can access your bitcoin everywhere and every time as long as you have internet connection. I much prefer on mobile wallets than pc because there's a chance to get infected of malware your pc and then, there's a chance to lose all of your money.

I always use lightweight wallet because it is always for me to open my app and see when the bitcoins are coming into my account and see the transactions accordingly.well it also represents the bitcoins in many different currency , as it is quite helpful for my country to understand.

Mostly I use web wallet, it's the most convenient to me. Sometimes I also use mobile wallet, just not to keep all my coins at one place. I also try to be precausious as much as I can and secure my bitcoins. But I don't have much coins, so I'm not very worried about them. :-)

Generally I use web wallet, and also mobile wallet. But if I increase my holdings of BTC, then I have to consider more safe storage place to keep my BTC.

It all depends on how long one needs to save their bitcoins. But if one want to do more daily transactions than online wallets are more preferable. I use XAPO online wallet for my daily transactions because they don't have any fee for sending money and also their transactions are quite fast.
Seriously? I thought they are already requiring fees for every transaction like sending and requesting a withdraw hrmmm Huh What is true? Because I already stopped using it for having now a charge. I have some satoshis there that I've collected from their mobile apps maybe I could get it now.
As far as I know, transactions between Xapo wallets are without fees, so it is useful if you do a lot transactions with someone who also owns Xapo. But fees out/in the wallet are actually quite good as well, I think it is around 3k satoshi, which is 10-20 times lower than a "normal" transaction fee recently.
Yes, I personally like to use the mobile wallets, the ones that using an app like Xapo or coinbase, because like that I can use the bitcoin on the go, the other types of wallets are quite vaurnable when it comes to security like the desktop wallet your pc might get infected by malwares or stops working and then you lose all your coins.

Since long time I am using electrum wallet and find it very safe and secure to save my bitcoins and the best feature in it is that you can also add higher fees for the transaction so you don't have to wait longer for transaction to get confirmed as that option is not available in multi bit wallet which I used to use before.
I think all the online wallet can also use a larger fee. electrum is a desktop wallet so I think you can only use it on your laptop only. what if you want to conduct transactions outside the home?

some time ago when xapo first present. they give 0 fee for each transaction as they are still in the promotion stage. but now it seems you need to pay a fee to be able to conduct transactions?

Until now i have some wallet for storing bitcoin,  everything I use bitcoin web wallet and for this i feel comfortable with the purse it, other than it  i also looking wallet that no cost cuts or the fee of a very cheap because income bitcoin i am a little, if pieces too large bitcoin i run out
You are saving your bitcoin in web wallet but make sure that these type of wallets are not in your full control as it work as a third party and you store your bitcoins with someone else. You may use high trusted web wallets and it maybe sure that they will not scam you but it is a chance that one day you will need your bitcoins and you will find the server of that wallet as down.

Using trustworthy web wallet services is just one aspect. Another thing I personally find equally important, is that the service in question must provide you with the private keys. If the service goes down for whatever reason, you will still be able to gain access to your coins. But if you don't have any private keys, you purely depend on them to keep their service online all the time. No private keys should be a no go for people, it's that simple.

As far as I know, transactions between Xapo wallets are without fees, so it is useful if you do a lot transactions with someone who also owns Xapo. But fees out/in the wallet are actually quite good as well, I think it is around 3k satoshi, which is 10-20 times lower than a "normal" transaction fee recently.
I use xapo like a web wallet. Really it's a good wallet. We can send bitcoin instantly from xapo to xapo account without any fees. That's one of good thing in xapo wallet.
Also we can send bitcoin out of xapo without paying fees. So for me, It's an amazing wallet. I don't have any problem with it since 2015.
Oh really? You can send bitcoin to some 'non-xapo' address without any fee?
I didn't try it recently, so I can't say it for sure, but they write on their official webpage, that outgoing transaction has a pre set fee 33750 sat (missed one zero, so that's why I said it's only 3k in my previous post). Still, it's cheaper than a regular transaction fees nowadays.
Here are the fees: https://in.xapo.com/fees/
