Usually I can simply copy and paste content from any blogs to the
my blog, and add a no index tag to avoid any duplicate/copy
content issues.
I have copied above part from popular blog. I need to confirm that it is true?
My site has two parts.
Article Syndication Part
Blog Part
I usually write 4 x 1000+ word articles per month and add 100+ syndication posts from different popular sites.
I am targeting SEO traffic for only my blog?
So is it 100% Safe to add noindex tag to all syndication posts to avoid any duplicate/copy content issues?
Or should I have to add rel=canonical instead?
So, which is the best one in my case: noindex tag or rel=canonical?

No, it is not 100% safe, if you don't own the content, or did not have permission from the original content writer.
People like me never allowed to republish my content to any website, the link I will get as a reference of original content is generally really poor and will not add tiny value to my website (Also that kind of backlinks heart to any website). So most of SEO experience will not allowed it.
Generally that content I can't find it on Google search, because you have added noindex tag, but that content may be google index it from archive/tags/categories pages if you're using some kind of CMS. If you non-index all the thing, then may be original content will find you from Google search console (Webmaster can see who links to their website) but if you don't link to them also noindex all the copies webpages then it is completely against copyright law.
Most of people will fill DMCA request against your website and that webpages will be removed from search result and added it on lumen database. Too much DMCA request will surely heart your SEO.
I don't know what you gonna accomplished, but your technique is consider as blackhat.
Important note : Webpages with Noindex tag are crawlable, so Google might already know that your webpages are copied, and will consider your website is low quality.
Both rel=canonical and noindex has their own purposes.
rel=canonical should be used when you want to give weightage of the page to a page from where the content originated. The seo juice in this case would be passed to the actual content owner.
So in case you are copying content from other sources, it is a good practice to give them weightage via canonical tag
rel=noindex should be used on pages which you don't want crawler to index like logged in user profiles or search result pages etc.
