I like Coinbase and it sister trading platform Gdax. You can send money from your Coinbase account to your GDAX account instantly and from there you can convert to lite coin or Ethereum very simply.
Don't use Coinbase man. You don't have the private key, in other words, the money is not yours.
Not sure it matters which wallet you use if you dont have the private key or the wallet.dat file you are pretty much stuffed. This has happened to me so I wont use a wallet anymore they are just a complete pain in the backside and a lot of people have bitcoins stuck in limbo because of the way they work. I use coinbase now so much easier lol
