Wi Fi is not secure if it is in a public place and anyone can access the internet. However there are Wi-Fi places that require a WEP key password in order to access their network and log into their network. Then this is the safest way and secure.

With 3G and 4G the cell phone companies have their own login with your cell phone number and so it is somewhat secure and safe. However you are trusting a cell phone company for their security and software updates.

So if I had to pick Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G, I would pick Wi-Fi with encryption WEP key password is truly the safest. Since you know it requires a encryption password to login.
