the most important thing is that it's safe.
If you're using Bitcoin Core as a hot wallet, there's always the risk of online attacks. My advice: keep only amounts you're willing to risk in hot wallets (for daily use), and keep the rest in cold storage.
Also, make a few backups. I prefer different brand USB sticks. And once in a while make a new backup to include al newer labels.
