There are a lot of different types of Bitcoin Wallet that are recommended to be used in bitcoin, now it is up to you what wallet you would prefer among the others. But first, what is a Bitcoin Wallet?

Bitcoin wallets contain private keys; secret codes that allow you to spend your bitcoins. In reality, it’s not bitcoins that need to be stored and secured, but the private keys that give you access to them. In short: A Bitcoin wallet is simply an app, website, or device that manages Bitcoin private keys for you.
 
Now, here are some types of Bitcoin Wallet and the recommended wallets under these types:

1. HARDWARE WALLET
A hardware wallet is a physical electronic device, built for the sole purpose of securing bitcoins. The core innovation is that the hardware wallet must be connected to your computer, phone, or tablet before bitcoins may be spent. The three most popular and best Bitcoin hardware wallets are: Ledger Nano S, KeepKey, Trezor. Hardware wallets are a good choice if you’re serious about security and convenient, reliable Bitcoin storage.Bitcoin hardware wallets keep private keys separate from vulnerable, internet-connected devices. Your all-important private keys are maintained in a secure offline environment on the hardware wallet, fully protected even should the device be plugged into a malware-infected computer. Hardware wallets are secure, offline devices. They store your private keys offline so they can't be hacked. This means you can even use one on a malware infected computer. Hardware wallets aren't free. But the price can be worth it if you own a significant amount of bitcoins. A hardware wallet will protect a few hundred in Bitcoin just as effectively as a few million.

• Ledger Nano S  
The Ledger Nano S is the cheapest of the three hardware wallets with a screen; it costs about $65. Ledger, one of the most well-known Bitcoin security companies, released the device in August 2016.

• TREZOR
TREZOR launched in August 2014 as the first Bitcoin hardware wallet, offering secure bitcoin storage plus the ability to spend with the convenience of a hot wallet. TREZOR is a small, thumb-sized device.

•KeepKey
KeepKey was released in September 2015 and was the second hardware Bitcoin wallet to offer a screen. The KeepKey's larger screen gives it some extra security features that the Nano S and Trezor lack.

•Ledger HW.1
The Ledger HW.1 can be considered a budget hardware wallet. It doesn't have a screen, so it isn't quite as secure as the three options mentioned above. It will, however, give you more security than a hot wallet.

2. HOT WALLETS
Hot wallets are Bitcoin wallets that run on internet connected devices like a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. As hot wallets generate private keys on an internet connected device, these private keys can’t be considered 100% secure.

3. Online Bitcoin Wallets (Web Wallets)
Web wallets store your private keys online, where they are encrypted with a user-selected password. Although they offer the lowest level of security, online bitcoin wallets have the advantage of being accessible from any internet connected device.

•GreenAddress
GreenAddress is a multi-signature Bitcoin wallet available on the web, desktop, Android, and iOS. GreenAddress is compatible with hardware wallets like TREZOR, Ledger Nano, and the HW.1. “Multi-signature” in this context means that the site requires a manual confirmation from you for your coins to be moved; this greatly improves security.

4. Android Bitcoin Wallets
There is a large selection of Android wallets. Since Bitcoin wallets were originally banned by Apple, developers spent much of their time developing for Android.

•Mycelium
Mycelium is the most popular Bitcoin wallet on Android. It's very easy to use for sending and receiving payments. Backing up your wallet is also simple, since Mycelium makes it very clear with setup and backup instructions.

•breadwallet
breadwallet, the great iPhone Bitcoin wallet, recently released an Android wallet. It offers the user control of private keys, an easy to use interface, and passcode support.

•Copay
The Copay Bitcoin wallet is also available for Android. It's easy to use and offers many advanced features that offer great flexibility.

•Airbitz
Airbitz is an easy to use Bitcoin wallet for iPhone and Android. Its familiar login feature makes using the app a breeze for people new to bitcoin. The wallet also creates automatic backups, so you don't have to worry about the technicalities of performing manual wallet backups.

•GreenBits
GreenBits is the native Android version of GreenAddress. It’s a multi-signature wallet that also supports hardware wallets like TREZOR and Ledger.

•Bitcoin Wallet
Bitcoin Wallet, or “Schildbach Wallet”, was the first mobile Bitcoin wallet. Bitcoin Wallet is more secure than most mobile Bitcoin wallets, because it connects directly to the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin Wallet has a simple interface and just the right amount of features, making it a great wallet and a great educational tool for Bitcoin beginners.

5. iOS and iPhone Bitcoin Wallets
Apple banned Bitcoin wallets from the App Store in February 2014, but reversed its decision a few months later. Luckily, there are now plenty of options for iOS users.

•breadwallet
We consider breadwallet, along with Copay (below), as the best bitcoin wallet for iPhone. It’s open source and gives the user full control over their private keys. It also has a clean interface which makes the sending and receiving of bitcoins a pleasurable and super-simple process.

•Copay
Copay Bitcoin wallet is BitPay's open source wallet. It can be used across multiple devices, since Copay is available for Android, Windows Phone, iOS, and all desktop platforms. Among many other great features, it's easy to create multiple accounts so you can have separate wallets for your business and personal funds.

•Airbitz
Airbitz is an easy to use Bitcoin wallet for iPhone and Android. Its familiar login feature makes using the app a breeze for people new to bitcoin. The wallet also creates automatic backups, so you don't have to worry about the technicalities of performing manual wallet backups.

6. Desktop Wallets
Desktop wallets are downloaded and installed on your computer. If privacy is your main concern, the Bitcoin core wallet is a good option since it does not rely on third parties for data.

•Electrum
Electrum is a light weight Bitcoin wallet for Mac, Linux, and Windows. Electrum was created in November 2011. The main features of Electrum are: support for hardware wallets (such as TREZOR, Ledger Nano and KeepKey), and secure Bitcoin storage using an offline computer. Electrum is a good option for both beginners and advanced users.

•Copay
Last, but not least, Copay is also available on desktop. Its desktop app gives you the ability to manage your hardware wallets, along with all of the other features mentioned above.

As for me, I'm currently using Coins.ph because I am based in the Philippines and so far it is the best, most trusted and easiest Bitcoin Wallet that I can access. Each wallet has pros and cons, and different wallets are built to solve different problems. Some wallets may be geared towards security, while some wallets may be more focused on privacy. Your specific needs should determine the wallet you use, as there is no “best bitcoin wallet”.

p.s
I'm acknowledging the source/sources where I got these informations even though there won't be any citations. Thank you!

I use coinbase wallet,my ether wallet and wavesio wallet.

Electrum and blockchain.info

Then you only join to the campaign which gives a profit in btc? Because there is two types of coin there if im not mistaken? The peso and btc.

Just like you, I am using online wallets like Coins.ph, Waves and Ether wallet but a friend told me to use other wallets like electrum because it will be safer for my bitcoins to store. Some online wallets sometimes encounter problems online which may affect our store bitcoins badly making it vulnerable for attacks of hacking.

I think the best electronic wallet today for beginners. I also use it and find it very convenient for to pay for transactions

I second blockchain for safety reasons

Yes, blockchain is a very good choice, it's very safe and reputable for many years about bitcoin storage. However, the cost of each transaction is very high and this is one thing I do not like, so I choose coinbase, it is similar to blockchain but the transaction cost is lower. In return, the transaction time is longer but that does not matter too large, it is very suitable for people who have little bitcoin

I use wallet blockchain....because blockchain wallet is a easy to use and have good security
I feel safe to store my coins at blockchain

Coins.ph is my favorite wallet also, its costumer service is very high response. Can't find any bad thing about there service as it surpassed my expectations. It makes my bitcoin world connected in real world the easier way. There's no other wallet can replace this one to me. If things might happen you can visit there office or sue them because they're reachable by law.

Nowadays I use different wallets too, but my first wallet was blockchain. I still use it because is simple and easy. I've never had problems with this wallet.

I'm living here in Philippines. I use coins.ph, it's the most trusted wallet here in ph.

i use two wallet Blockchain and coin.ph but i like blockchain wallet more security qnd very easy .

I use coins.ph. It is one of the most used here in the philippines.

Actually most web wallets are secure too but yeah it's more easier to use blockchain web wallet than other web wallets in my opinion. I stored all my bitcoins in blockchain and keep using it since 3 years ago and i never have an issue whenever i'm using blockchain web wallet.
