Mycelium, got just about everything you need in a bitcoin wallet and has great cold storage options for sweeping private keys on paper wallets or Trezor connection.
I will have to check on 2fa with Mycelium, only just thought about that.
Anyone know if Mycelium wallets supports 2fa for login or spending?

I have been using multibit from the get go and no problem what so ever. So my advice would be to use it. But if you are looking to compare some of the wallet services, I suggest you look at some of the reviews like ths:

So i recently saw a bug with blockchain.info  and im a newbie on bitcoin wallets so i decided to move my wallet from there. I would like to use a wallet that is safe and that can be recovered in case of loosing it or something like that. Any suggestions what should i use?

Edit: is multibit a good alternative? and if yes how can the wallet be recovered on it in case of an emergency?

I have been using electrum for over a year and it works... usually.  It can be glitchy at times.  Sometimes it says I have more coins than I really do which is exciting at first but then annoying.  Usually when it glitches like that it means I'll have a problem if I try to execute a transaction too.

But it also depends on how much coin you are going to have.  Don't keep large sums in electrum just in case there are more serious glitches.  For larger amounts you should do the cold storage process and have physical backups maybe kept in a safe deposit box or some other safe storage.

Use Mycelium on Android, or breadwallet on iOS. They're the best. Easy to use, and a very user friendly reliable backup procedure.

it's better to have different wallet on different solutions. The desktop wallet or paper wallet are preferable for high amount of coins, while an online wallet for few coins.
Btw blockchain.info is widely used and secure.

My suggestion is Electrum, multibit is good too. But i prefer to Electrum, they have more features for the security although i still haven't any problem with the old version, also you don't need to download the data.
Better to don't store all your coins on web wallet or exchanger.

If you plan to exchange fiat for Bitcoin and do not want to overcomplicate, a verified coinbase wallet goes great. You can exchange your bitcoins for money and viceversa inside it.

Yeah, multibit support private key import and export with encryption support so you can safely put it on your flashdisk or something.
Also, you can try use Electrum, it just like Multibit but with more features like multi-sig or hardware wallet support.

Multibit is the best for me, as it is very safe and have some most valuable features, apart from bitcoins I would suggest to use localbitcoins and blockchain.info as they are very safe and trustworthy.

If you really want to secure your Bitcoin then use paper wallet just be sure you have a duplicate copy and keep it in a place where it will not get lost. Actually there are still lots of wallets you can use, like desktop walte, mobile wallets or online wallets. But it is necessary to put only there the amount you need or will be using daily. Currently I have paper wallet and I'm using blockchain and coinbase. In my experience they are one of the hottest online wallet.

If you created that wallet on an online computer it is not safe.

I haven't moved my bitcoin from blockchain. Still love it Cheesy. I would suggest electrum ( for cold storage ) and coinbase ( blockchain.info alternative ) for you. Cold storage is cool if your computer is safe from viruses and keylogger. Don't forget to backup your bitcoin on paper wallet.
