I'm using Coinbase and BlockChain. CoinBase does not support betting games, have to find out the hard way...

IMO best choice for security of your bitcoin and easy cold storage is Armory. Second best is Electrum. Both are deterministic wallets that only need to be backed up once.

Multibit uses SPV to keep the blockchain, which means you lose a degree of trustless, but for it is good.

As far as offline wallets go Mulitbit and Electrum are safe provided you make sure to encrypt the contents of your wallet with some password (make sure it is reasonably long with lower/uppercase etc). If you have a lot of funds it might be advisable to store you coins in cold storage (you should be able to find some articles on it if you google) and use another address/wallet for your day to day transactions.
