I think most of member will vote for coinbase and i also think so as they have quite strong reputation by now. Although i can't buy bitcoin from coinbase because i am from non supported country but i have used them as online wallet for few months.

I don't have any experience in circle.

I don't like either, you have to jump through too many hoops to get verification. That said, for Americans, Coinbase works well because they've integrated it smoothly with the banking system - so easy to deposit fiat, you don't need to do CHAPS wire transfers with those types of fees.

I am a coinbase user since circle is not available in my country. I also use blockchain and that is my favourite one, but the service and support coinbase provide is actually good to very good.

I have never used circle before, so obviously my choice will be coinbase. i would not use either coinbase or circle for storing my coins.

A little over a week ago I wanted to set up one or the other, so whichever was the EASIER would get my business.  

Circle won.  They were easier to get going, I still have not heard back from Coinbase how to get my account going.  Ease of use matters.  They both wanted some verification or other, but Circle won (for me).

My limit is $300 / week.  If I ever want to raise that, it looks like they would want more steps re verification and a "history" with them.
