Importing private keys is not the way to go.It brings uncertainty to the user.  

Signing a message with the address would be ideal.

This is far from ideal, as you are showing ownership of Bitcoin through a single IP, even if it's behind a proxy. All Bitcoin tx's you ever made will be linked/combined to 1 entity.

It still sounds better than importing your keys.

Importing keys is fine, if you transfer Bitcoin balance away and never ever use the address again. Whichever method used, all kinds of airdrops/forks off of Bitcoin compromise the one who controls the private keys in one way or the other, by combining tx's to single outputs.
