as i see it's not an easy task to choose an optimal bitcoin client
Its a bit overwhelming at first. But think of like choosing a real life wallet. Except you are comparing technical qualities instead of cosmetic qualities.

I'm using Bitcoin Core v0.9.1, I don't trust 3rd party clients.
Is it the fact that people are maintaining distance from open-source deterministic wallets, like Carbon wallet ?
This seems like an appropriate place to link this as a small warning to Multibit users

Woah, scary. However I've never had any similar problems, and this seems to be a once in a lifetime issue.http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/22gt4r/major_mulitibit_bug_btc_gone_it_cost_me_all_of_my/
I read about this on coindesk. I was just about to start using multibit as an additional wallet too. I probably still will, but I have not gotten around to it.

After a while when I post here last time, my preferences did not changed a lot 
I am still big fan of Bitcoin Wallet for Android devices - as for day-by-day wallet.
and still best desktop imo is qt (core). 0.9.1 is gr8!

Electrum - miss being completely trustless though, now I have to rely on certain supernodes. However it does mean I don't have to download the whole massive list of transactions that is the blockchain which for me is a major plus. And I can still do offline signing and cold storage without having to use Armory.
Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ? If you use web wallets, please do mention which one is your choice and why ?
Source client of course although Armory is tempting stuff at times

So true...

Use multiple clients! If you need to buy something with BTC online, put just enough BTC into an online wallet. Keep BTC you're likely to need in the next few months on Bitcoin-QT, Multibit, etc. (And keep the rest safe and secure in a paper wallet.)

I have a unique situation, where i am traveling the 3rd world with a laptop and an iPhone... this makes me a target for theft, so it is ill adviseable to store too much bitcoin on my laptop... I have signed up for 10 different exchanges/online wallets (I do a lot of day trading of cryptos and bitcoin) so if one goes down, my holdings are diversified. I have 2fa on everything and a back up iphone with all the 2-fa codes on it as well.
I need to make a paper wallet for long term investing, and mail it to my mom and other trusted peeps, but in this down market I'm doubling down in the alt coins... waiting for the next explosion! Rolling the dice!!!! Papa needs a caro carro!

Nothing feels better than checking your watch only online wallet safe in the knowledge that there is no perceivable way for someone to steal those from you. No other third party and quick and easy to sign offline transactions. Certainly beats trying to find the faded bit of paper with a plain text private key on it. I just cant understand how people can be comfortable with one or two web wallets.
I have used Blockchain.info for the past 2 years or so. Not planning to shift to any other client.
You keep your entire holding at blockchain.info, or you use multiple wallets there? I like to keep mine spread out...that's why I like reading here about other clients
