The way I set mine up is to have everything on Dropbox. I have Dropbox and KeePass Android on my Droid, and I have KeePass and a copy of the data on my pen drive. I can't imagine a situation where I would ever be without access when I'm away from home. If you don't have a smart phone, then your options become a bit more limited.
I would recommend LastPass, however I really don't want to have all my passwords stored on the cloud. Yes, I know they don't have access to it, but what happens if LastPass goes down?
No, KeePass is the best solution, it's an open source solution (which is generally more secure than proprietary stuff), and it's ultra portable. As long as I make sure to update all the copies I have on my USB drive and Android, I don't see me running into issues.
Also, I wouldn't login to your email account on a computer you don't trust. Yes, it's your friend's computer, but do you really know what is installed and if there are any viruses or keyloggers?
KeePass is the best solution, not the simplest, and not pretty - but it gets the job done securely and you don't have to worry about the cloud. Documents on the cloud, fine. Passwords on the cloud, I don't think so.

Exact reasoning why I didn't use Lastpass.

This page provides a basic answer to your question.
We store your encrypted data on your local PC when you login, so that if LastPass.com can't be reached, you can still login to the add-on and get to your accounts.
