i think that will not gave you BitcoinGold, some exchanger will give you BTG (Bitcoin Gold) if you hold or have bitcoin in their market, example: bittrex,poloniex,yobit. And some wallet services like jaxx or mycellium may i suggest to you to hold your btc to get bitcoingold.

Nano ledger will most likely support the fork, but even if not, as long as you control the generation seed of your wallet( which means that you are able to access the private keys that control you bitcoins)

It is okay to hold bitcoins during the fork on any wallet that supports revealing or out-sweeping the private keys out of the wallet, so in case the wallet won't support, you can always transfer the bitcoins to a different wallet and then sweep up the keys on the forked chain, so you get an access to the forked token for sure.

If you have your private keys all of them are the same. The best way to keep your bitcoins before fork is to have your own private keys.

for safer reasons, it is better to hold your btc on the hardware wallet like nano s ledger, for any problem arises after bitcoin fork then we can safely anticipated the occurence on any problem arises when there is something wrong with the bitcoin ecosystem. whether or not if bitcoin fork could bring a good benefit it is better safe than sorry.
