But yeah I guess arguably the official client is the 'safest'. Altho in my opinion there's really no risk if you don't store your coins on websites.

Bitcoin QT is the official and safest client but far from the easiest to use. Multibit is simple, safe, has a good interface and syncs extremely fast.

Coinbase is kind of like "AOL of Bitcoin"... easy to use for the masses...eventually people will learn about private keys, etc just as people today know a lot more about the Internet than 10 years ago.
A bit off-topic (OK, way off-topic) but I'm not sure if that is true. The Internet is way more accessible nowadays because it's everywhere and more companies have entered the market compared to back in the nineties when it was just AOL. Most people still have no idea what really goes behind the scenes when they use Facebook or Google or watch a YouTube video. Most people have no idea what CSS is, or what PHP is, or HTTPS, or TCP/IP, etc. As for what wallet/client I use, well I've been using Electrum for a while now and just recently started getting into Blockchain.info. I'm still figuring out how it all works so I don't have any coins there yet.

Most people still have no idea what really goes behind the scenes when they use Facebook or Google or watch a YouTube video. Most people have no idea what CSS is, or what PHP is, or HTTPS, or TCP/IP, etc. I see some relevance. If anything, that suggests that the path toward greater adoption of Bitcoin isn't simply a better wallet (i.e., a better AOL,) but rather ubiquitous access to the currency. ATMs, more businesses accepting it, the ability to regularly have a portion of your income converted to it, and having the tech integrated into products and services in ways we find hard to envision now. I'd imagine a greater emphasis on keys could be a part of that though. That's partly why I like Mycelium: handling, creating, importing, and exporting keys is quick and easy, as is the backup process. (And coming soon to it... a Local Trader feature! If you've got an Android phone, you might want to use this wallet just for that feature alone.)

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.

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.

Blockchain.info. I got hacked a while back when I used the simple bitcoin wallet. Lost about 170$ worth at today's exchange rate. Decided that blockchain was the best option as it's much more difficult for someone to steal my funds and it's a lot easier overall. If i ever seriously invest, a cold storage paper wallet via Armory is what i'll be using.
Is blockchain.info releiable for large funds too ? Yes blockchain.info is reliable for large funds too. A few of my friends have a couple hundred btc on their blockchain wallets

A few of my friends have a couple hundred btc on their blockchain wallets Not trying to sound harsh here, but just because something seems currently reliable doesn't mean it actually is, or that it can't change without warning. Unless they spend and receive dozens of bitcoins daily, no one needs to keep that much tied to one online service (and really, I'd question it even then.) Maybe if they have several other wallets, including paper, with just as much in them, but otherwise that's an incredible risk. If they have no other balanced wallets, I would strongly recommend suggesting to your friends that they diversify into a couple of other wallets too, including a cold storage (likely paper) wallet, with plenty of backups of each, all secured. They will most likely thank you for it later.

I think its not about blockchain.info and bitcoin-QT. Its about web wallet and local ones. Ideally web wallets are not recommended. But with the increasing popularity and wider usage of Bitoin, more virus and malware will be created to affect machines and take away coins from local wallets. So for an average person, it is probably safer to use a web wallet, keeping in mind that the wallet service provider may rob the coins too.

That may be true, but there's still another factor to consider. If you have $15,000 in cash, your only options aren't to either keep it in your pocket or let someone store it in a bank in Romania. You can also take $12,000 of it and store it in your underground safe at home. With bitcoin, the underground home safe is called an offline wallet. Done properly, it CANNOT be hacked; the ultimate in digital safety. Even if done in a less-than-perfect manner, your chances of getting hacked or defrauded are still greatly reduced. Add that you can create backup copies and even split the keys if you want (like with Mycelium's encrypted backup that also has a passcode,) it's a no-brainer. Again, if someone only has $200 or so in Bitcoin, I understand them not wanting to go through the hassle. But for large amounts, not taking the time to secure your funds with an offline wallet is just lazy, and won't end well. New users need to understand this!
