Any full wallet really.
But Bitcoin is really the slowest one to sync from the start as it has a lot of transactions and is the oldest.

True, just use a blockchain.info wallet, no need for download of the block chain.

but the online wallet not 100% safe.

Its not 100% safe but its pretty secure and hasnt had any real problems.  Do not use an exchange to hold your coins, ever.

I use blockchain.info as my online wallet.  I have a Yubi Key as a 2-factor authenticator so its pretty safe.
