is there a kind of bitcoin wallet that is better suited for claiming ClamCoins?

yes i am aware of this. what i want to know is which wallet among the many wallets out there will make it easier to import to get the clams? thanks for the response

 Exactly like chilly2k said you make the claim of your clams using the private keys or the wallet.dat (that is a file that where the BTC/LTC/Doge wallet usually store private keys) and import it in your Clamclient, in addition to that, usually some wallets are more easy to claim because of the way they stores the private keys.

 Maybe is this what you are asking for, as an example there are some wallets that use the Hierarchical Deterministic (HD for short) address generation method that compared with wallet that doesn't use this way and store the private keys in a normal wallet.dat file, those HD wallets (for example Multibit HD) are more complicated to claim because they use a 12 words mnemonic, that is a group of 12 words that is used to backup the seed that is used to create your wallet addresses (private keys) and if this hasn't change, I was checking recently and didn't, you can't retrieve you private keys or export it straight from the software. They are workarounds to extract the Private Keys but not as easy as click "show private key" or "export ".

So if your wallet has the ability to import and export private keys or store you private keys in a wallet.dat, those wallets are way more easy to be claim. In this category you can find BitcoinQT client, Electrum, Multibit Classic (dunno if still available) and many others.
