In summary, in terms of safety level, offline wallet (best) > hot wallets running on your machines > blockchain.info wallet > exchange wallets (worst)

You left out multisig wallets, which are new. I would rate them about the same as the blockchain.info wallet:

offline wallet (safest) > hot wallet running on your machines > multisig wallet = blockchain.info wallet > exchange wallet (riskiest)

What about the Trezor hardware wallet (http://www.bitcointrezor.com/ and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=122438.0)?
Is it as safe as an offline wallet?
