I prefer MEW with Ledger Nano S, (although a lot of people prefer the hardware of the Trezor)...
MEW is easy to use and has alot of tokens and gives you custom gas amounts so you can control the cost of your transactions vs the need for speed as it were...

The best LOOKING wallet I've seen is Exodus.. so if you can accept some of the risks of using this type of wallet and care more about the user interface , this looks super sharp and clean..


Remember though if you are a new person and don't have alot of experience using wallets and don't know alot about the security vulnerabilities and such,  if your portfolio is still somewhat small, the exchange (although I kind of regret saying this as I type it) can be a safer option while you learn the ins and outs of wallets and security.

Whatever route you go with though, start working your way up to a cold wallet (hardware) as your portfolio grows and your risk increases.
***IF you decide to go hardware wallet, make SURE you buy these from the original manufacturer's website... no exceptions or 3rd party vendors INCLUDING Amazon.. nothing used.. no second hand.. no ebay.. you could lose everything to save a few dollars, and its just not worth it!**
