So, in the last couple of months I have spread my portfolio to about 20 different tokens.
I am now looking for a hardware wallet to better secure them.
From what I read so far, the Ledger Nano S looks as the preferred choice, mostly for its support for multiple tokens (as opposed to Trezor's BTC only).
Seeing it's on backorder till late July, I was wondering if there are any other recommended hardware wallets?
Also, as my intention is to hodl for 5-10 years, should I consider using paper wallets, instead?
Any other security tips will be much appreciated.
The "Nano s" is the best bang for your buck, it gets the job done its compact, sleek and affordable at $69

"Ledger Blue " has a lot of great features and is like a mini tablet but can be stolen easily in public and is expensive at $270

"KeepKey" is the most secure and has a nice polish screen not to big not to small, A good buy if your willing to shell out $99

"TREZOR" A very rugged ledger with a functional screen at the price of $99

I recently bought trezor hardware wallet and I must say that I enjoy using it. I haven''t tried all the other hardware wallets but it think trezor works best as well.

Could you explain why you think the KeepKey is the most secure of the hardware wallets? What does it offer additionaly in terms of security compared to the other solutions? I was looking it up on their site, but couldn't find anything that the others don't have.

Hardware, mobile or any wallet do not matter in fact, if you can take your private keys, take it and close the application and delete it. Store your private key in a safe place and keep it as long as if you want

I havent tried out that Keepkey since i do only have idea and experience on Trezor but knowing it only stores up few altcoin as far as i remember maybe only 5 coins but they do have plans on doing an extent on other coins. If you do have 20 different coins then i would bet you cant find any hardware wallet would have this storing capability.

You are wright! The best option for today is Ledger nano S because it supports ERC20 tokens. As a tip you can check availability on different markets (EU, North America) and by there with your home shipping.
As options you can take KeepKey or Trezor (I prefer KeepKey because of design)

What about the cheapest option?  Just get a good quality usb thumb drive and store wallets on it and have it all encrypted?

It is a cheap option, but security wise a hw wallet has the big advantage, that your private keys never leave the device. The transaction is signed on the device. The computer you use it on never has access to the private key. You cannot achieve this with a normal USB key.

I have an extra Raspberry Pi Zero lying around. As there are Linux wallets for most coins, I'm going to research if I could put a cold storage wallet on it.

I use only TREZOR for gathering my BTC and Altcoin. It's very safe and easy to operate.
