I would invest in a Trezor hardware wallet for the every day transactions and I will store the biggest portion of my bitcoins in cold storage. I do not trust online wallets or storing any large amounts of bitcoins on exchanges. If you go this route, you will have a better chance to secure your wealth.
This if you plan on acquiring a large amount of coins soon. It is quite an investment (100 usd), but it is well worth it if it means keeping your coins safe. The security risks are quite real if you don't take care of your computer security, trezor solves these problems for you and even allow you to send coins on infected computers if needed.

1. i think all bitcoin wallets are free unless you want to pay extra for cold storage on online wallets 2. again only conline wallets like coinbase connect with a bank account and that so you can purchase bitcoin, however there is no requirement to connect to your bank. 3. These days paying a small fee or no fee at all will cause you problems, your transaction my not get confirmed for days

I guess blockchain is one of the most decent online wallets and probably offer the most options regarding control of your addresses in online browser wallets, Electrum is a decent PC wallet, Armory is good for offline storage of coins but relatively complicated to use.

I used MTgox as wallet sometime before and it was a bad idea considering how it worked in general, I think the best wallets to use are PC wallets since you own your private keys, Multibit is very decent and not internet based, Bitcoin core is good too.

I'm convinced that Blockchain is most secure and fastest wallet of them all! I would like to use core wallet but i don't like synchronizations..and gigabytes of memory..

I honestly do not know what is the best wallet. But I have heard that some of that is one better than that. But you must look at the reviews and how often it is used.

I just use Xapo, I know they don't release the private keys but as I don't hold that much I don't really care and the service is very good with great security. I doubt they will run with the money and I may try their Vault option once I have some more BTC. I think for most people services like this are essential to bring Bitcoin to the masses really, the other ones are clearly stuff made for nerds. No woman ever will use that.

The best bitcoin wallet to get is the one which you personally prefer and feel safe with. 1, Paper wallet. Nearly free. 2, Connected to bank? That is a strange one. Not sure any are. I will go with Ledger 3, If you want your transaction to confirm in time then pay a small fee. Not worth getting out of paying a few cents for a transaction for 100's. All in all I prefer the Ledger wallet as it is super easy to use and safe, it does cost a small amount but you pay for what you get and it is easy to access should you need to.

I am using Bitcoin Core and Electrum. I use Bitcoin Core mainly to store my Bitcoins for the long term. It needs you to download the complete blockchain which might take you some days to complete it. Electrum is what I use for easy and quick transactions. Unlike Bitcoin Core, the Electrum wallet doesn't require you to download the entire blockchain. Easy and fast.

There is the standard transaction fee that goes to the miners (integral part of bitcoin, all wallets do this). In Electrum, the user can define which amount they want to pay per kilobyte. (Recommended fees can be found here: http://www.cointape.com/) If you are talking about a transaction fee that goes to the creators of Electrum, then no, there isn't. Because the Electrum blockchain info servers are volunteer-run, it's a good idea to tip them every once in a while in the "console" tab of Electrum.

Electrum does not have its own fees, though you still have to (and should) pay the miner fees. Electrum is what I would recommend.
