You can use these three so you will sure that your coins are secured,because without JSON file there will be no chance to get into your wallet even if your computer was attacked by malwares,you can add your wallets to metamask extension if you are using dex or decentralized exchange because metamask will prevent these phishing sites to get your private keys,your private keys will remain encrypted to the metamask extension while you are doing transaction with these exchange giving you more peaceful trading experience,metamask is a legit extension for your private keys protection and it is being recommended by MEW itself to use this extension.

I think the best way is to use the keystone file. As much as you can, you should protect your private key. One way to protect it is to actually just keep it and  hinder yourself from entering  it to open your wallet, There are instances of fake websites that gathers private keys and transfer funds.

I am using keystone/json file to protect my wallet from these malwares,i usuall store these file in offline storage like in usb.Using metamask extension will protect your private keys when you are doing transcations with these decentralized exchange like etherdelta the metamask will work as an added protection because your keys will be encrypted inside metamask even if there is a phishing sites who wants to get your keys.

 For me i used private key, because its easy to use.  its safe as long as you keep it properly. and most important thing is you have a back up file of your private key.

I am using jstore pr json file together with metamask,and so far i dont really encounter hacks from my wallet because metamask extension will prevent these phishing sites to get your private keys when you are transaction with some erc20 token exchanges like etherdelta and yobit.My private keys are being encrypted inside the metamask that is why i dont have any doubts using this fantastic extension.

Any of these type of wallets will be secured when you use it with metamask extension that will serve as an extra layer or protection with your wallet,because metamask extension will encrypt the private keys of your wallet when you are trading with DEX like etherdelta,which are prone to these hackers so you dont need to worry about your wallet because it is secured.

Of course, from this list you should select a METAMASK for keeping track of your purse MEW. Make 2 copies of the private key and place them in different secure locations.

I am using private keys and metamask of myetherwallet.com,and it seems to be effective because i have been using these two for my coins for about one and a half year and i didnt encounter any proble,as far as i know metamask will protect your private key from your mew it is encrypting yor private keys inside metamask while you are transcating with etherdelta or any dex or decentralzed exchange.

[ferrybitcoin.1996]

I usually JSON file, because private key to easy leaked the wallet.
And, MEW officialy not recommending using your Private Key to open the Wallet, you can try it Offline, Using Ledger Nano S or Metamask Extensions

[lutcor]

The MEW system itself, I think, is pretty secure. But here the user is not protected, because it has such property as to be mistaken and not attentively scattered by the information. So we just talk about different things

[hyunee]

They are all risky to use. I'm using myetherwallet and I always keep and double check my private key. Sometimes there comes a confusion between giving your eth address or your private key. This happens to one of my friends. He was confused between eth address and private key. Instead of giving his eth address he gave his private key. First of all you have to double check any inputs you give to anyone especially in joining projects as it is very risky. One wrong move and you will loose your money. So you should be hundred percent sure when giving your information to them.

I am using mew for about 2years and i can tell you that using mew with private keys is good enough to protect yourself from the hackers,using metamask would be better because the privatekey of your wallet would be stored inside the mask,protecting these keys from the phishing sites and phishing attempts by these hackers,so far i dont enconter problems using these useful tools.

why use mew if you use metamask?

If you go to the website of MEW, you will see that it not a recommended way to access your wallet


In the meantime, unlocking your myetherwallet via connecting to Metamask is approved by the MEW site. So I would prefer the last option

[madtea]

I don't recommend you to login using privatekey. If you mistakenly went to a phishing website, then you’d be given them that information. I use the Metamask. You don’t need you keystone file and requires a password to access.

[dbijoy]

Although I know about private key, private key is a personal key in which we can protect an account.Nevertheless, Metamask is the best way, in which we can keep Token and coin very intuitively in an account. Therefore, Metamask is a unique resource for coin protection.

[uzurik]

I recommend cold storage!Ledger!

[South Park]

There is no safest method of using myetherwallet.  If you expose any of those to an unauthorized user, you'll lose your tokens.  Simple as that.  All 3 methods are great ways to access your tokens through MEW and are safe to use as long as you keep them secured.  

This, the methods exposed by the op are all good but at the end it depends in the user to use those methods correctly, you may install the most advanced security system in your house but if you let the door open it is all for nothing and the same applies to wallets, even if you use a method that is not the best as long as you are vigilant then you are fine.

I will choose keystore file to secure MEW from your options. However IMO, using a hardware wallet with MEW is the most secure way.

I believe you're right, hardware wallet with myetherwallet should work great. Trezor and ledger are both good ones. but always make sure you're safe on your side first.
