Even if segwit is activated, that doesn't mean a particular web site will accept witness transactions. So wallets will need to support both for some time.

AFAIU, non-segwit-supporting wallets will still recognize transactions with segwit inputs. So no need keep creating P2PKH addresses in order to be able to pay to non-segwit wallets

I need to generate P2PKH addresses for non-segwit wallets sending coins to me (the generated addresses are for my private keys). You are correct that non-segwit wallets should handle witness transactions since they will receive them in legacy format.

You should be using p2sh nested segwit addresses. The segwit scripts are the "redeemscript" of a p2sh address. Since all wallets today can use p2sh, this lets wallets without segwit still be able to send to you and you can take advantage of segwit.
