Will a MetaMask wallet work for airdrops or should only use MEW?
-
MetaMask is great for airdrops, just check etherscan.io from time to time if airdrop Tokens are received.
Using MetaMask + MEW has 3 key benefits:
If you use MetaMask, it is far less likely you will be phished or affected by a phishing site as your key remains in MetaMask and the fake website will not be able to steal it.
It is by far the fastest, easiest way to unlock your wallet via MyEtherWallet.com & completely free. You just click a button. No more searching for keys or keystore files!
MetaMask will block you w/ a big red warning if you go to a malicious site found on our blacklists. Look at all these crypto phishing websites!

Yes. Airdrops usually supports MEW, Metamask, IMToken.

Thanks all I feel better about it now

Metamask is ok for the airdrops that support the ERC20 tokens as Mew does.
Control very carefully that you have to receive an ERC20 Tokens because if you have to receive a token that don't belong to the ERC20 category, you will need a different wallet(like wawes and co).

Good point... Ive seen this a bit more often lately so be extremely careful at what type of token it is and adjust accordingly.
