Still can't decide on that hardware wallet...  Roll Eyes
I want to dodge the ledger(s), originally wanted to choose a follow-up hw wallet as cold storage.
Now, when coming to feature sets, security design and even price, the choices are almost no-brainers, but going through the FUD and spam with the ledger's, i started to question the need of a hw wallet at all.
I could live with seedword lists and computers, but there will be less convenience in some usecases and security of storing the words would become even more crucial.

On the other hand, i like Passport's and Coldcard's stuff and have the required bucks to spend...

I've used Trezor since 2013, love their devices and you can even flash BTC only firmwares on it. Have owned a few Ledgers as well (I like to tinker) but Trezor is where it's at for me
Was about to post the same thing. I've had two Trezors, the original Model One since 2017, and, more recently, the Safe 3. Absolutely no issues, and very satisfied. Between the two, I'd pick the Safe 3, as it allows everything to be done via its screen and buttons (no PC keyboard necessary, although you can still use it for convenience), and it also includes a Secure Element.

About Ledger, I bought two of them (I think it was the Nano S), one for me and one for a friend. Never opened mine, and ended up gifting it to another friend, so I don't have any experience on its use. Although I've heard positive things about their wallets, after the user data breach that happened to the company a few years ago, I lost confidence in them.

I'd recommend the Trezor Safe 3. I just saw there is now a new model, the Safe 5, with a color touchscreen. If you're into this sort of thing and expect to be using the wallet frequently, you can get that one for the convenience of the touchscreen. The Safe 3 is ideal for me, as I like its simplicity and don't use it very often.

just to pile on

used trezor one since they came out   -  no probs (but hardware can be compromised if someone has physical access to it and the equipment)

use trezor t since they came out    -  no probs

used ledger - FUCK NO   nothing but risk  here stay away
