This. I'd actually recommend Electrum until Armory .91 or .92 is released. Armory has much more functionality and some more security, but also a few serious bugs to be worked out (which eat your time, not your coins), though it's much less apparent if you run your computer(s) "normally" (fast, solid Internet connection, power stays on). Electrum will ultimately take up hours less of your time, excluding needing the full blockchain with Armory.

With the de facto "official" Bitcoin client, you both have the time-consumption of a "full" client and no added functionality over third-party clients. AFAIK, the Bitcoin clients also still do not use deterministic wallets, which is a major pain in the ass and/or security risk if you use it a lot.

Electrum. Or a paper wallet for long term storage.

just got electrum, but could You explain why is it safer? It uses other networks, which might be compromised, can they?

It can be stored offline. So, It is secure, Oh and it doesnt download the blockchain.

Not downloading the blockchain is like the biggest feature, +it doesn't have to be online.

there are tricks for speeding up the blockchain syncing using bittorent and a dump of the blockchain: look up blockchain bootstrapping. Lots of tutorials available.

Still, some people are not happy to have 16GB+ data on their HD.

And for some people, downloading 16 GB takes loving ages.

Yup. And not just a day or two, but like half a month or more. Crappy internet speed. So I use Electrum.

I think armory is more secure, what do you think?
