Read through the whole thread - really great to see people discussing actual security criteria, not just brand names.
 Huh Also - has anyone here tried the ERA? It looks solid on paper, but I’d love to hear real user feedback from someone who actually held it in hand, not just read the site.

In light of recent debacle of c0ldcard crap devices, it is good idea to check entropy strength for most popular hardware wallets.
You can see comparison list and difference in entropy when 12 and 24 words are sued.
Using 24 words is obviously producing much better entropy, and is harder to break it.

..
Plus, using extended bip39 passphrase can add another layer of security and make the resulting wallet much harder to attack through seed generation weaknesses.

I would not rely on that SEED security table.

Any flaw that touches on randomness will undermine those estimates, so wallet owners must assume the worst-case scenario, i.e.  such flaws exist even if they have still not been revealed for their wallets. The only step users can take to mitigate this risk is to use the multisig setup.
