for me coinbase and xapo is best walllet with zero tranasction fee

Well, yeah. Coinbase and Xapo both got zero transaction fee, but if you told me to choose between the two I would definitely choose coinbase over Xapo, because Coinbase doesn't need mobile authentication just for sending satoshis.

While Xapo does. Complete waste of time.

For that You should hide private keys from others. You should know apart online wallet many other secured wallets are there like Cold storage, Hardware wallet, Paper wallet and etc...
In better security concern choose Coldstorage or paper to avoid hacking from others.

the mobile authentication is actually a good thing, it is like a secondary lock you put on your safe to keep your valuables more secure (an extra layer of security).

think of it this way, not being lazy now and taking an additional steps means reducing the chance of getting your accout hacked then losing your money and having nothing.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Try to use blockchain.info wallet because for me its more secured than other wallet (for me) and also it has a lot of security features to ensured that your wallet is not easy to hijack or to get hacked.

I recommend the standard Bitcoin wallet, as it gets bug fixes very quickly. Downloading the blockchain takes a very long time, but you can get the blockchain also as a torrent.

blockchain.info is the oldest bitcoin wallet and it was the best one till 7-8 months ago when they had a problem with transactions and alot of people didnt got their btc,instead they tooked the half of the btv they have sended. Because of that a lot of people were disapointed and left the blockchain

Best is so subjective though as a wallet is kinda tailored to your needs.  A hotwallet with lot's of access cannot really be compared to say a paper wallet.  So we cannot say one is best for all applications.

I still think blockchain.info has the most users by all I have seen.  It is in no way meant to store lot's of BTC long term.  It is a hotwallet and should be treated as such but I think it is still most popular website hot wallet.

thank you for all your replies and taking the time to write them.
I have tried out some of the ones you guys suggested and I have to say I really like electrum and I also downloaded bitcoin core and am running a node whenever I can. If you guys want to take some pressure off my electricity bills, all tips are welcome.

For my hotwallet, I will keep using mycelium, but I will use a paper wallet for storing large amounts. Thanks a lot for the info, it's been incredibly useful.
these links contain some very useful info:

For those too lazy to read the entire thing (I can relate), here it is broken down into easy steps:
  • To generate a new bitcoin address, open BitAddress.org in your browser (or LiteAddress.org for litecoin).
    BitAddress (but not LiteAddress) will ask you to create some randomness by either randomly typing characters into the form or moving your cursor around.
    You will be presented with your public and private keys and their respective QR codes. Do not scan these.
    Click the ‘Paper wallet’ tab.
    Select the number of addresses to generate.
    If you don’t wish to keep the bitcoin artwork, click the ‘Hide art?’ button.
    Click the ‘Generate’ button to create new wallets.
    Once the wallets are generated, click the ‘Print’ button to make a hard copy.
    Your browser will ask you to select the printer you wish to use. In the case of Google Chrome, you may also save the page as a PDF file.
    Make a note of the public addresses, or scan the public address QR code in your bitcoin (or litecoin) app and start depositing funds.

Hope this helps Cheesy
