Did you give any consideration to any of the alternative wallets such as blockchain.info or Electrum?  Were there specific concerns you had that prevented you from using one of them?

I just downloaded the "normal" wallet because that is what weusecoins.com said to do.
weusecoins.com is outdated.  It gives too much attention to mining, and not enough attention to alternate clients.  Depending on your specific plans, there can be valid reasons to avoid using some of these alternate clients, but for many people they are a good option.
