What Wallet do you recommend for new XRP investors / newbies?

[Hodor]

Another survey!  This time I'm wondering what wallet that you'd recommend for XRP newbie investors.  I'm just listing them off alphabetically with no other context, since I'm not sure how else to go about this.  I don't know if there have been any security issues with any of these either, so if you're aware of any, please vote first and then leave a comment below. 

Basically I'm just wondering what the community consensus is for what we recommend to "newbie" XRP investors. 

Thank you!

Hodor the poll only allows one selection...   I recommend a few different wallets to my friends based on their amounts and desire for security....    They have differing strengths and issues...

Also there is the online offline divide to choose between.

Online:    Gatehub, TheWorldExchange, ToastWallet

Offline;  Rippex, TheWorldExchange

But then I tell them that any, and or all, of them may have flaws or weaknesses or exploits that I don't know about....  use at own risk.

Shouldn't Kraken be on the list?

I use ToastWallet and I am quite happy with it. Easy to use. Mobile App is cool as well and never had any issues.

I agree that we each likely have our own criteria for utilizing "the best wallet" even though we'll find broad categories of features and/or issues. I'm nowhere close to having expertise re: wallets. I would like to have a better grasp but am also not interested in trying to educate myself, on my own, to figure out which to choose or stay away from.

A "wallet recommendation" matrix for XRP, check-marking or ranking (1-5) each wallet's capabilities / limitations seems in order. Does something like this already exist for XRP?

This is a fantastic idea that would add significant value to new users (and veteran users come to think of it)

I guess since Gatehub and a couple other online options were listed, I should have included some exchanges with wallets as well; I had a different poll for "recommended exchange for new XRP users".

There was several false starts in this area, same for gateways and services. The issue its time consuming and needs dedicated follow up.
