If with "best" you mean secure than go for Armory, but if you want to be operative in a couple of seconds try Electrum.

With Bitcoin you don’t have to trust anyone. Use the Bitcoin qt wallet to store your bitcoins

Bitcoin Core is the most stable wallet, while offline wallet is the most secure one.

You should use Bitcoine Core if you don't have internet connection and disk storage problem. If you have light weight pc, you should use light weight programs such as Multibit.

I am never a fan of the Coinbase wallet. As you have no control of your private keys, what you have is just an account balance.

Bitcoin Core isn't a bad one IMHO , as for others I liked using multibet (easy, simple and fast to use). Haven't tried electrum nor armory, although I don't endorse using website wallets but I'm using blockchain.info

For the official bitcoin core wallet, you need to have the full blockchain data to achieve the fully trustless feature. That's why you will need to download about 25GB of data in the start. You can use the bootstrap torrent (link in the bottom of https://bitcoin.org/en/download) to make the download faster.

Bitcoin core will always be the 'best' wallet in my eyes.
Out of all the other wallets I've used in the past, I'd recommend Electrum for ease of use and Armory for security. Large amounts of btc should always be stored offline so it would also be wise to learn how to make paper wallets, there are several guides to do this on the forum.

A couple of wallets are great. Blockchain.info and Electrum are the best for newbies, while Bitcoin Core and Armory are the more secure options.

I am using coinbase wallet. It is secure but there is always a possibility of being hacked on online wallet.

I agree with you. I am also using the same wallet. Same here. Love Coinbase. The cool thing about an online wallet is that I have access to my BTC wherever I am in the world without any hassle. If I were to carry my wallet.dat file on a pendrive with me, I would have to install the qt on a public computer (unless I bring my laptop with me everywhere which is cumbersome) every time I wanna use my BTC which is risky. I am using coinbase wallet. It is secure but there is always a possibility of being hacked on online wallet.
Well for large amounts of BTC, you should always use Coinbase's Vault instead of the regular wallet. The Vault is as safe as it gets in terms of online storage and the risks of getting hacked is reduced to a minimum.
