What is the safest way to log MEW among of these?
    1.Keystone File
    2.Private Key
    3.Connecting Metamask.

As of now I am using keystone file on accessing my wallet because I didn't yet buying hardware wallet to keep my Crypto more secure and safe.
Keystone isn't recommended when you are using public computer or device or old OS computer that's probably resided with viruses that will expose all your digital files and take your wallet keys.
Private key is just the same with keystone file I suppose.
Metamask is one of the slightly safer but again, don't use public computer and you must understand that your computer is virus free and secure because hijackers will steal your keys when you're going to copy and paste it between forms and applications.

I use a keystone as well but i'd recommend trezor or something like that if you want to be more secure.

Of course, common security things still aplly, like not going to suspicious sites, avoiding phishing links and so on.

The best way from your list is Metamask, but the best way ever is hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger Nano. Do not spare money and buy some hardware wallet.

Indeed, the very least safer on the three is Metamask but still hardware wallet will give you peace of mine especially when you're holding high Crypto Asset values.
I want to buy Ledger Nano S or Trezor, both of them are so popular and I want to keep my Assets secure as I am holding more than $45,000 worth of Assets today.

I will recommend you to use MetaMask to access your ETH or Token, because with MetaMask you do not have to copy and paste your private key, you just need to connect MetaMask and MEW when you want to send a token.

I personally always login to myetherwallet using private key, but must always make sure that the intended website is correct, and to more easily do bookmark myetherwallet website, and surely you will avoid phishing website

Connecting using metamask is better since you don't need to put your files/private keys

In my opinion, Keystone File and Metamask are the safest way to login MyEtherWallet. I have been doing with Keystone File and feel safe. It would be better to avoid private key option.

Metamask is more safe than using private keys. Private keys may hack anytime unlike metamask all are safe. Yes no need to login always the private keys in visiting the myetherwallet site.

1.paper wallet - just print your privatekey and then keep your paper wallet on the safe place.
2, Metamask - that was adding more security layer to your wallet, I remember there is a lot of people are saying about they are never having any problem while using metamask to keep all of their amount.
3, Keystone - this should be the last due to the security measure is only pegged on your password.

First of all, you have to bookmark https://myetherwallet.com because sometime we not check the secure sign in address bar and put our login details at phishing site and hacker got our all details. Always try to login with UTC file and strong password because UTC file is in encrypted form and no one can break it and use private window to login as it don't save any of information and cookies.

I guess that the combo of Keystone File and Metamask is the best way to protect your MEW. Or you can use a hardware wallets like  trezor/ledger, but there are a lot of messages appear that they are programmed and steal your private keys. So it is strong argument for me to use Keystone File and Metamask instead of hardware wallets.

anything that is online is not safe in my opinion. if you want to use it as safe, there are codes available from github. or you can get ledger nano s.

there are some good suggestions here but they are only reducing the risk. at the end of it all you are still using a web wallet on an online computer and that is risky on its own.
add to that the fact that MEW may be popular but the popularity is only among users not a lot of coder who must review the code to find bugs and fix them.

I dont think us9nig private key in the legit site of MEW is wrong, its safe as long as you are on a correct site.

All in the branches disagree, but most of the metamask, but I'm essentially paranoid, then I store on several offline devices including a laptop that does not have access to the Internet;D Grin

Well I am using my private key to login but will install metamask for more tight security, the most important thing I guess is to bookmark the real myetherwallet site, although they have a new feature, it is not yet safe because so many hackers are now cloning myetherwallet a good alternatice is Exodus, although it is only for Ethereum only wallet.

In my opinion. I guess they are all important. Theyre safe tou use. It is trusted. Im using private key. So dont give away your private key, passwords. Keep it for yourself only. Keystone and metamask are also good for securing your account.

to keep the security of a myetherwallet I do not think hope to use a public network based internet.
so security can be maintained.
