i my self has only used blockchain and coinbase so far .... but i would also like to try others

If you're interested in trying out other wallets, client wallets I'd recommend are Bitcoin Core, Multibit and Armory.

Bitcoin Core for the standard look of a Bitcoin wallet, with simple buttons to press. Fairly point-and-click.

MultiBit has it's own issues, so I'd recommend it less, but this is probably the easiest to use wallet I've seen.

Armory is the hardest of the three to use, however it has multiple security layers that are great for storing large amounts of Bitcoin. This one is my personal favorite, if you don't mind having to set things up for a little while.

I don't know a whole lot about other online wallets other than coinbase and blockchain, so take any online wallet opinions I have with a grain of salt.

the only feature i wish multibit had would be the ability to spend from specific addresses; the current multibit 0.5.18 doesnt let you do this, although i havent checked out multibit HD yet. secondly, coinbase is not a wallet. if you make the argument that "i can put my coins there so its a wallet" youre wroong, if you do not control your own private keys, you do not control your money, and therefore it is not a wallet. i would also advise not using blockchain.info as they are an inept company that accepts spoofed and false transactions into their ledger.
