First hardware wallet – advice needed

I’m looking forward to buying my very first hardware wallet. My main priorities are maximum security and transparency, because I will be holding a significant amount of BTC. I want a device that I can fully trust, with solid security measures and a strong track record.

For now, I plan to hold only Bitcoin, but I might want to exchange to other coins in the future, so I don’t want a device that’s strictly limited to BTC. I’ve read a lot about Trezor and Ledger, but I’m still unsure which model is the best choice. Many people recommend the Trezor Model T due to its open-source firmware and security features, while others suggest the Ledger Nano X or even the Ledger Stax for their robust build and wide crypto support.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences, pros and cons, and any advice for someone buying their first hardware wallet. Which hardware wallet would you choose if your main focus was long-term security, reliability, and peace of mind?
