I think this is extremely secure:

or this:

But might not be for everyone

I have never had of both of these before. If they are extremely secure then I am wondering why they are not so popular or mostly talked about here.
Are the wallets still new in the game?

If it's the case they i would rather stick to the popular ones that have been around for a couple of years.

Both of these methods are extremely secure, but never ever use a protocol or method that you don't understand fully. Otherwise the risk of losing your coins is bigger than getting robbed.
I don't recommend any of those 2 methods unless you know what you are doing OR invest time to understand these methods (they are very well documented). And I recommend to only use these methods if you store a large amount of BTC (more than 20% of your total savings).

Here is what I think would fit to most users and is still very secure:

- Buying a Ledger from the official website
- Writing down your seed (24-words) and put them in an hologram sealed envelope, so you will be aware if someone took a peak at it.
- Leave a small amount of funds on the main seed and the rest of your savings behind a 6-8 word passphrase (Ledger has tutorials how to do that). So even if your seed gets compromised, your main savings would be safe.
- Store this envelope with your seed in multiple locations that you trust. If you do not have different locations that you trust, buy a password protected USB stick and store your seed on there from an airgapped machine. And put this password protected USB stick at the unsafe location (replace them every 5-10 years as they might die).
- Never store your passphrase at the same location as your main seed.
