The best wallets in my opinion are the paper wallet and the hardware wallet.
This is because they are completely irresistible to hacking attempt unless your private keys are compromised which should be   stored safely in a cold storage.

Have to disagree. Paper wallets are unsafe.

The process users go through to generate the private keys for paper wallets exposes it to so many attack vectors. Eg. you have to print it out, but your printer has memory that may store your private keys even after printing. Unless you are an information security expert, don't bother with paper wallets.
