I disagree, Just because its a large does not me its inaccessable, Internet connections are getting better and im sure they will find a way to cut the blockchain down. Bitcoin-QT is by far the most stable wallet IMO and I have used them all, I have had problems with them all apart from Bitcoin-QT

Satoshi predicted this. There are several posts hinting towards the majority of users using slim clients. IIRC Satoshis upper bound was <100,000 full nodes ever and slim clients for the rest.
On the other hand we have the bitcoin core devs [1] working on a way to make a it semi slim clients where you can configure an upper bound of diskspace the node can use.
I think any reasonable [2] wallet is fine and there is (or at least will be) a wallet for every kind of user.

[1] here is a recent post where this came up https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=904383.0
[2] proper encryption, you control the keys, capable of backups etc.
