As long as you control your private keys, it doesn't matter - you just need to be able to import those private keys into a wallet that will support it afterwards. However, I haven't seen a single one yet that has claimed support for this version of Segwit2x so likely just going to be a dud. I wouldn't bother if you don't have a substantial amount of Bitcoin to cover the cost it takes to move it to an appropriate location.
I'm curious, why did you choose to use a hardware wallet over a paper one or a desktop wallet? Obviously, a desktop is less secure but a paper one sounds super secure. The USB scares me because I've had so many of them die on me over the years.
BTW, Segwits site now has a video on it that's so outrageous it's funny.
It's hard to find a clear answer especially since a lot of news is from before the second announcement on Dec 26th (still looking). Please reply if you have any other info.
I think hardware is the best option but some exchanges may support the fork. This is a list of exchanges from October which might give some minor indication but don't count on it. At first glance, I don't see any that have made a more recent official announcement.
WARNING THIS LIST IS NOT ACCURATE ANYMORE https://blog.coinigy.com/2017/10/comprehensive-list-of-exchange-segwit2x-stances/
I've seen others recommending Binance and Bittrex because they are generally good at this but I don't see any official announcements.

SegWit2x has a list of exchanges on the home page, I haven't heard of any of them.

I put my bitcoin in several paper wallets.
I've been paranoid about money since 9/11 and do goofy things.
Thanks for the feedback.
FYI here is a pretty good article about private keys and ways to store them.
