A hardware wallet is always superior to a hot wallet. Its security is nearly impenetrable because transaction confirmations must be made through the device. While I am unfamiliar with the Safepal wallet, it appears to have earned trust among lists of hardware wallets. Personally, I have been using a Ledger wallet since the start of my hardware wallet experience. Congratulations on prioritizing the safety of your funds! Just remember to store your seed phrase in a secure location.
