Bitcoin Wallets, Should We Trust Open Source Ones?

People are often concerned about the safety and security of open source software. After scares like Heartbleed, many have questioned whether the inherent openness of open source is too flaky (and, well, just too open) for some application scenarios. But the converse argument states that open source technology has more ‘eyes and hands’ on it than proprietary, so it could in fact be more robust. So when it comes to cryptocurrency safety for Bitcoin wallets, would open source be a good thing or a bad thing?
