This is the list of all types of wallets, you can find here full validation wallets like Bitcoin Core or Armory, SPV wallets like Electrum or Multibit and wallets that will require you to share control over your Bitcoins with 3rd party, like - Green Address. I recommend Electrum, it is a HD lightweight wallet (meaning that you won't have download whole blockchain) with good privacy and security options (even though it relies on external servers to work).

Unless you are planning to store large amounts of bitcoins then I suggest going with Electrum , It doesn't require downloading the full blockchain , It's possible to export your private keys and they also give you a 12 words passphrase which you should keep safe (It will allow you to recover your wallet anytime anywhere) , that could helpful In case of a computer failure or forgetting your password.

I have a big guess that those wallets mentioned above are from this list https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet. And all I can suggest is electrum wallet as it is so easy to use without trouble and a lightweight desktop as you don't need to download the whole blockchain that is required for those other desktop wallet that you mentioned.

The blockchain is basically the public ledger of all bitcoin transaction that ever happened , If you are okay with downloading it (which is +100GB right now afaik) and will keep growing over the years then I suggest going with Bitcoin Core as It's the official bitcoin client otherwise just go with Electrum as I already said.

I'd say BTC.com
The wallet has these features:
HD Wallet Multi-Sig Easy to use Easy sending to contacts *Along many other features.
Also, we are backed by Bitmain Technologies, biggest bitcoin mining manufacturer.
We will be accepted to Bitcoin.org this week

Is always highly suggested to start with web wallets services for the newbies as they might get failed to secure their standalone wallets. The web wallets are suggested just due to easy securing like what we usually do with our email accounts.
After getting some good knowledge on bitcoin ecosystem and how to secure our wallet and how to securely backup it and more importantly after bought/collected some decent amount of bitcoin, it is recommended to switch over to one or two stand alone wallets listed on op.

1. If you are newbie and not familiar with how bitcoin works than --- coinbase and xapo
2. If you know little bit about bitcoin (about address, privatekey, transaction fees) ---- blockchain.info web/mobile wallet
3. If you know how to import, export, backup, create bitcoin address ---- electrum
4. If you like to store huge amount of bitcoin and spend them daily securely --- Trezor (hardware wallet)
5. If you like to save some bitcoin for long term without spending --- Paper wallet (put in safe place)

I'm not familiar with most of the wallets on the list. I'm familiar with a few ones like electrum. But I do prefer to use wallet with blockchain.info and xapo. Of the time I've been using blockchain.info though the forum recommending and advertising bitcoin core. Its just a matter of confidence and convenience.

Its because all wallets mentioned by OP is a desktop wallet while you are using is obvious a web wallets and exchange site also as coinbase. Maybe you are true that any exchange can be your wallet but its not safe to store your coins in any site like that which is you dont have the control over your bitcoins.

The first thing is you have to choose wich type of wallet do you prefer: client, web based, android app, paper wallet, ect... Most newbies like to start with a web based wallet such as coinbase. Personnally, even if you have a preference i recommand you to try every type of wallets, at least you can learn more efficently how to use bitcoin, don't limit yourself to one type of wallet only, if you plan to understand fully how bitcoin works.
