I mostly use web wallet specially blockchain.info web wallet and mobile wallet. However i try to keep proper backup of my wallet as well as i have saved private key of bitcoin address i have in blockchain web wallet.
I also have lightweight desktop wallet (electrum) but i don't use it too often.
I have two wallets blockchain.info and coins.ph i keep half of my bitcoin to coins.ph and the other is in blockchain.info. having many wallets will help you to keep your bitcoin more safe. But never forget your private keys. There are many wallets that we can use, choose the better one that you know will be safe for your money. Choose what is best for you.

There is a thread about recomendations for the best wallet to use, but not all practice what they preach, so this poll is to see what people are actually using. I understand that some people use multiple wallets of different kinds, so this poll asks which wallet is most used, this can be measured either by quantity of bitcoin or ammount of transactions.
From the beginning till now my web wallet felt safe and secure in my wallet. And I used this for a long time now. I am including a loyal user because my choice is still one that is web wallet

I prefer a web wallet above anything else, started with blockchain.info and never used anything else.

Nothing happens when your hardware device gets broken. I have a Trezor hardware wallet myself, and at the very beginning you have to write down the mnemonic (several different words) on a piece of paper. This mnemonic will be the 'key' that will grant you (or anyone else with your mnemonic) access to your coins through another hardware device. No one would buy a hardware wallet if there wasn't a way to regain access....

Trezor really help, as long as we save the mnemonic,we can access our wallet. but we should be more careful and keep mnemonic in a safe place

The Safest wallet is hardware wallet with full sync client. but web wallet is more easier to use. I don't think so. It's still dangerous if hackers hacked your computes where in yiu can not recover it if your computer is being reformat. Web wallet is safest for me as 2fa authenticator is available.

Since I earn my first bitcoin, I am using web wallets. The web wallet I am using has also android application which is pretty efficient for me because I can convert my bitcoins to fiat and withdraw it in any banks any time, anywhere, as long as there are internet.

The Safest wallet is hardware wallet with full sync client. but web wallet is more easier to use. Using hardwallet wallet is indeed safe, but it will be difficult to use in frequencies often. Let alone inflexible hardwallet wallets like online wallet ?

Web wallets or online wallets are good for the newbies or for the small amount of bitcoin that is needed for usage every day or being a hot wallet. If you already gaining some good or big amounts of bitcoin then i think it is better to have desktop wallet and just use your web wallet for converting from bitcoin to fiat.

What might seem like a small amount of bitcoin today, where you say, "it's ok to keep it in a web wallet" could be worth a small fortune years into the future.
Then 5 years later, say you've been hacked and lost everything, you'll think back and say, "it was a small amount then, but now I could buy a car with it (or whatever)."
You may or may not lose it in a web wallet, but it's happened before, more than once. And if it happens to you, it will be a regret someday.

Web wallets such as Blockchain and Coinbase has been increased the minimum transaction fees. Now, I am using electrum and multibit desktop wallet, which is more convenient to me. I think you are speaking about bitpremier site to buy the car with bitcoin. That you can do with any wallet.

What I mean is, you may be careless with your bitcoins now because you think you only have a small amount -- the justification to use a web wallet. I'm saying, in the not so distant future, that small amount could be a small fortune. And it will be a regret if you lost it. And it's easy to prevent that regret now.

Web wallets are the less secure to use. Electrum for desktop and Mycelium for android are good choices and it doesn't take time at all to sync them. As for the most secure ones I would suggest Armory together with a hardware wallet.

I think web wallets are for persons that is using bitcoins for everyday transactions because with these as said by @Janation, is efficient whenever and wherever you needed your bitcoins to be converted or such. But I think earning from signature campaigns is not that big so I think it is good to have a web wallet.

I'm using a PC light wallet "Electrum" and Armory "Online, with no specific technical difference), I also use blockchain.info for convenience in conducting small tx's from deals and the like. I intend to do a paper wallet as cold storage as soon as I get a decent sum, Brain wallet etc... aren't my favorites for it being hard and the risks being high if the passphrase isn't good.
