Which wallet is the most suitable option when considering a switch from Ledger?

[DireWolfM14]

Specifically, I am looking for a multicoin wallet, not limited to Bitcoin.

Trezor T. 

I'm a bit pissed with Trezor, to be honest.  I really don't like the fact that they're contracting (indirectly) with chain analysis, but as long as you don't use the coinjoin feature built into Trezor Suite, or avoid using Trezor Suite all together, then you're privacy won't be compromised. 

Having said that, if you're using Trezor Suite for altcoins, your privacy is fucked regardless.  The only way to use any hardware wallet with ultimate privacy is to run your own nodes for each of the shitaltcoins you hold.  I don't use Trezer Suite much because the only alt coins I own are XMR and a little bit of Doge.  The Trezor T can be used with XMR only with the official Monero wallet, there's no support for XMR in Trezor Suite.  The Trezor One is not compatible with XMR, and I think there are few other coins that it won't support.

Both Trezor models are very user-friendly, and mine (both models) have been working great for years.  Trezors are open-source, but they don't have a secure element.  The lack of a secure element makes them vulnerable to a physical attack (the wallet needs to be physically accessible to the hacker.)

Now, after all that talk about Trezor it's worth noting that I prefer Foundation's Passport and Coinkite's ColdCard over the Trezor.  You're likely to read a similar comment from every bitcoin maximalist on this forum.

Thanks for this assessment, I need to look more into the Passport and CoinKite, the Model T Seems to be the best option on the market in terms of market share. I wonder if we know exactly how many people use each of those wallets in relation to population of crypto HODLERs. Is there a way to know that information?

I'm a former Ledger user too.  I switched to Krux, which is a fully airgapped hardware wallet that pairs with apps like BlueWallet, Nunchuck, Sparrow, Specter, etc.

I posted a full review of Krux here.

The thing I love about Krux is that it runs on Maix Amigo hardware.  The Amigo is a device with a 3.5 inch touchscreen, a camera for reading QR codes, and a battery.  So it's fully airgapped once you load Krux software onto it.  It has a micro SD card slot, but using that is optional.  I prefer using RQ codes.  It also has usb, but after you've installed Krux on the device, the usb is only needed to charge the battery, so you can plug it into an electric outlet instead of a desktop.

After the mess with Ledger, I decided to go DIY and it's been surprisingly easy.  For Bitcoin, solutions like SeedSigner and Krux are fantastic.  And since the Maix Amigo is a device intended for DIY projects that usually have nothing to do with crypto, when you buy one, you don't end up on somebody's crypto mailing list, y'know?

Krux is free and fully open source.  SeedSigner is too.

This has been discussed many times on the forum and has its advantages. That is, buy 2-3 devices instead of one and use it with a multi-signature, which will not allow one or another manufacturer to access your wallets. In this case, even the problem with the closed source code of the ledger will be leveled.

I have 2 ledger nano s plus, and use ledger + trezor to generate a multi-signature wallet. Then these ledgers do not need to be discarded.
