For long term holding use a hard wallet it is the most secured place you can store your coins. only put on exchange if you will day trade and never login to any other device for extra security. change your password once in a while also and you will be ok.

Very important to know if you take coins for a long hold or constantly trade?
I keep everything in my wallets, because I have a long hold my coins. The advantages of this are that the coins are exactly mine and there will be no problems with the withdrawal from the exchange. Although this is unlikely, it may still be that the exchange can take out coins on a long time or even stop withdrawing. Who played poker, he knows FTP and UB Absolute, they were giants, but they went bankrupt in ONE DAY.
Cons to keep coins in your wallet. I have few coins, but still have to use etherium, waves, neo. Another big minus. If the market urgently needs all my coins for some kind of operation, then you have to spend time and a few fees.
But I am ready to put up with these two minuses, but be safe, even if a large exchange will not withdraws coins.

What do you mean? comparison between exchange and wallet?
then here you want what? to exchange coins or save?
if you want to save a coin, or token you have, please open a wallet account and save it there. if you want to trade your coins, or your token, please go to the exchanger. when you want to open exchange, you also have to enter the private key of your wallet account, because all the coins or tokens saving in your wallet account.
so what do you want?

To keep your coins safe use wallet not a exchanges. Many exchanges are now being hacked and millions of dollars are lost with the coins hidden by traders in exchanges. So it's better that your coins are hidden in the wallet because it's safer

As the name goes, exchanges are used for the purpose of changing one coin to another and I understand it as something people should do only if they really want to change their coins to another. If not, then keep your coins safe in your wallet. For the issue of trading, well, if you are into trading then you need to make for yourself high security profile on the exchange site and pray for no attempts by hackers. Better still, you can use the hardware wallets available on market and connect to exchange site for your daily trading. That will grant you the highest security of your funds.

So.. Wallet is always the safest way to have, you'll be at peace knowing that you alone has only the full access in your fund. Exchange is not really meant for holding coins, it was made to buy and sell but no hold. Exchanges might fail at any moment and once that happen you will never know what to do. Im also having coins in an exchange but I make sure that it wont last there for so long.

Well, of course you need to store in your wallet. It is advisable to use the most secure hardware variant. Store money on the exchange - a strange idea

In my own experience, I rather keep part of my token in an exchange and keep the remaining portion in my wallet.  Token that has the potential to earn for that particular period are keep in the exchange so that whenever the best price is offer I could easily sell it.  Prices are too volatile so I have to keep watch and there are altcoins that hype its price on a certain period of hour only.  However, I only keep my coins in reputable exchange that enables a 2FA authentication for security access.

no exchange is fully secure. one day the site can be hacked, the exchange can lost, the owners may disappear from the middle. in such a case the effect will be very large and the prices of all the coins will be affected.
it is safer to keep it in the wallet as possible
