Which of the Bitcoin wallets between the Online and Offline works best?
Online and Offline Wallets have different uses. It's depend on how or what type of wallet you really needs and the purposes you will do. There are things that offline wallet have some advantages compare to online wallet but on the other hand it can applied vice versa as no doubt online wallets providers have some unique features which is not possible at offline wallet. For considering what is the best, then try to use various of them as we have different perspective here towards every wallet.

Use offline wallets/hardware wallets if you are planning to hold bitcoins worth of huge amounts. Offline wallets are much safer and you have full control over your coins. But you can use online wallet to store small amount of coins to do small transactions. But remember, you don't have full control over your coins at online wallet.

It's crystal clear that offline wallets are the best option when you need the security for holding a large amount of bitcoin in a long time. Otherwise, online wallet provides the easiness of accessing your wallet through everywhere, it matches well if you're a trader who always needs to get in touch with your bitcoin every time. Both have the advantages and disadvantages so choose which one you really need. Furthermore, you can see these reviews just in case if you really need: https://99bitcoins.com/best-bitcoin-wallet-2015-bitcoin-wallets-comparison-review/ If you will define the both choices you will decide to chose its better to know what is the similarities and differences of both subject. In choosing the wallet you are actually right offline wallet is the best option for people who wants security and wants a long term holding with a large amount. But if someone is on to trading and investment the much proper wallet is the online wallet where you can monitor the price and convert. But it is not bad to try both because you can hold at the same time trade for more ways for you to earn bitcoin.

I would personally recommend an Offline wallet
Can we really use an offline wallet? If that idea is safer than online wallet, I think I will use that in the future because if we talk online wallet as of now specially connected to the internet network; vulnerability of being attacked by hacker is really possible to happen. I had no ideas of any offline wallets since my start of bitcoin transaction, online wallet is the wallet I used for a long period of time. Well if you have substantial amount of Btc and still use online wallet, I would recommend to switch to some offline as soon as possible, Electrum would be great to begin with. While online wallets are still secure enough but since being connected to Internet it's easier to hack them, and then you also need to trust the wallet providing website if it doesn't let you control your private keys like coinbase or xapo.

I think you're looking for a lot of opinions here, but the challenge with that each person's needs drive their opinion and often two people don't have the same needs. So, have you checked out this site >>> https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-walletThis allows one to really compare wallets (offline vs. online and more) based on what they're looking for. I use a bit of both.

It is difficult to say which one in better. Both are there and have users. This is because both cater different needs. If you are regular user of bitcoin and make number of transactions daily then go for online. If you are more of investor and less of user then offline means are more suitable to maximize security.

So for me, I mostly used online wallet because I have everyday, weekly transactions specially while trading.

The online wallet is good for daily traders and those who do more than 2 or 3 transactions per day. And it is easy to access, and we can use this bitcoin ant any time. Offline wallets are safer than online, but we can not use this bitcoin easily on a daily basis. Offline wallets will use for long term investment and future savings. But here also risk is there if your system gets any problem and crashed means it's hard to recover your bitcoins.

Right now I am using online wallet. Perhaps the reason is that I own only a very small number of mBTCs. When my coin holdings increase, I will seriously think about moving my coins to an offline wallet.

Offline Wallets works best in terms of safety and security of our bitcoin. But no doubt that Online Wallets are playing a big role too and helps us in most of the cases since their existence began. You can't do anything in Offline Wallet aside as it was solely for storage purposes only that's why we need some Services of a Web Wallet. Depositing, Withdrawing etc are being done in Online Wallet in at ease and quick transactions is one of the good reasons why use the services of an web wallet.

I like online wallet because of the ease of converting bitcoin to fiat without any problem. Only drawback really is that you don't have the private key's and the chance of losing your btc is far greater than having offline wallet. I don't have offline wallet because I still don't have that much btc to store with.

I know blockchain.info for one that has such options.

Offline/desktop wallet works the best! web/online wallets are good for keeping bitcoins for spending purposes. if you have large sum of bitcoins consider buying a hardware wallet.(ledger nano s is a good hardware wallet)

Offline wallets are unquestionably the best but you can mix them up with an online wallet because you can use the online wallet for day to day transaction whereas the offline wallets must store a chunk of your investments because they are safer being kept there.

I guess the offline wallet is more recommended than the online wallet but i guess offline wallet is prone to hacking or bugs but so far i dont encounter this problem so probably offline wallets are the best than online wallets also i guess it is more safe than the online wallet that is prone to scam.

Both will do if you control the private keys.
That’s pretty easy to state though the people who usually store their Bitcoin online end up losing it from certain issues within the website. Having a private key does not really mean anything if there is no Bitcoin found inside of a Bitcoin account. The wisest suggestion for someone who is trying to store Bitcoin would be to have an offline wallet with a really strong password, back up the wallet files and encrypt that file with a password as well.
