my first recommendation are the ones from DannyHamilton
Multibit and Electrum without the blockchain download
and armory/bitcoin core if you need a full node and the whole blockchain

blockchain with 2FA is secure and best out there,why would you have no confidence in it
I echo this sentiment. I have been using the blockchain wallet since my desktop wallet crashed a year ago. Never really had any issues with them. They are also quite secure. The issue that happened was sorted out and i know people who were affected but blockchain reimbursed them for their losses. I have never seen any company do that tbh. Even if the mistake lies with the company, they tend to blame the user and refuse to payout.
I also use Xapo btw, never felt as comfortable with them as i do with blockchain.
OT: I dont even want to dig up my free clams which are associated with my BTC addy because i like blockchain that much

I need a pie chart who can show each bitcoin wallet type percentage diffusion.
That's all.
That's all.
And how exactly would anyone be able to determine how many people are using each wallet type?
Do you (or anyone else) know for certain what wallet I am using?
There must have some kind of reliable statistics available of how many downloads for each wallet that needs a download.

I strongly recommend Electrum. It's very lightweight and very intuitive.
Just make sure you take good care of the 12-word passphrase. And watch out with adding your own private keys to the wallet, since the 12-word passphrase won't recorver those additional private keys.

I also recommend to use Electurm very easy ,very light .and you can consider bitcoin core as a full package client in both situation make sure to backup& encrypt your wallet.dat .with a good anti virus installed in your computer if you intend to use windows.

I am looking for another web wallet to spread my eggs in to more baskets. I still have confidence in the security of blockchain.info, but it is sometimes offline when I want to send coins and confirmations aren't reported right when a block is orphaned. The only web wallet that seems viable is hive wallet. I am testing hive while using Electrum.
You can use the blockchain wallet but have an other paper wallet with some coins and a paper wallet of your blockchain wallet in case the site is offline.

Bitcoin QT with encrypted and backed up wallet.dat / Privatekey is good

What is a good hot wallet to use? I lost faith in blockchain now.
Bitcoin Core [Wallet-Qt] it is a strong choice....
you can download blockchain via torrent too.. so you can sync in a few time...
if you want you can put wallet.dat in USB PEN to store offline!!!

The problems with blockchain were mostly among Tor users. It seems safe if you don't use Tor and add a F2A.

We have many claims that Multibit have a weak connection to bitcoin network, some transactions come late. So the best way to use full-node wallet like Bitcoin Core. Don't forget encrypt and backup wallets.

If you have never used any offline clients start with Bitcoin Core then you can take from their. Personally i prefer Electrum.

Multibit and Electrum are both pretty good lightweight wallets.
Armory and Bitcoin Core are good full node wallets.
