I use a lot of different programs.
On Android i use Mycelium
On my computer i use Electrum
And i also have a cold storage paper wallet generated with Bitaddress.org
And i have a blockchain.info wallet but i must admit i really dont use it much as its not as convenient.

It seems people are preferring blockchain.info over coinbase in terms of online wallet. Any specific reason ?

Blockchain.info is more secure than Coinbase, because they don't know your private keys, they store them in encrypted form on their servers and you unlock it within your browser with your account's password. On the other hand Coinbase stores your private keys, you don't have access to them, and if they ever get hacked/lose data/dissapear, the coins are lost.

blockchain.info is not a bitcoin bank. It's not, but it looks very much like one. At Blockchain.info, you can keep your money and you can send and receive payments, just like a bank and fiat. |
Under construction.

I use Electrum because I can't be bothered downloading the entire blockchain onto my netbook over my slow wifi.

... I am now overseas on a trip, and went to blockchain.info to check my wallet. Looks like my BTC are still there. Now if I can find some gold jewelry down here to buy with it... A BTC expert told me that there is a very low, but non-zero probability, that a wallet at blockchain could be compromised. I will also try my Multibit wallet on my laptop (on a home wifi system) later to see how that works. Yes, I trust the wifi and it is secured with a password (and we are not talking that much money either). |

blockchain.info is not a bitcoin bank. Where did I say blockchain.info is a bitcoin bank ? That is what CoinBase is and they are providing wallet service too. So is the comparison. |

You didn't say that blockchain.info is a bank. You asked a question: It seems people are preferring blockchain.info over coinbase in terms of online wallet. Any specific reason ? and I answered: blockchain.info is not a bitcoin bank. Which is hopefully why people prefer it over coinbase. |

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Electrum offline wallets for high amounts, Bitcoin-Qt because I develop against it a lot, multisig sometimes. I would also trust the android wallet with ~1 BTC

Armory with paper back wallet. Have to admit that downloading the blockchain on Bitcoin-Qt was pretty long at first but using it seemed to me necessary.
