The BCC coins are sure to come. I 'll have to get prepared. BCC is a hard fork. They may compete with BTC directly in near future. I never tried electrum. I will give it a try. Do you have to wait a lot of time for syning?
Electrum is light weight wallet so no syncing is required you will be able to send and receive bitcoin just after you complete installation.
BCC is just another clone of bitcoin created by few miners so don't expect it to compete with bitcoin. But if you hold your bitcoin in addresses under your control like in electrum you will get some free BCC which you can dump when it will be listed. Who don't love the free money
