Yeah, if you just want a full history of all your transactions, and don't need the ability to spend any funds and/or sign any transactions... importing addresses into a watching-only wallet would give you that info.

Signing messages with P2SH addresses is "a bit of a mess"™... The primary reason being that there is no guarantee that a P2SH address actually has a private key to sign the message with... as they are a "Script Hash"... and the script doesn't necessarily involve private/public keys. Some wallets like Electrum, Mycelium and Trezor support signing/verifying using P2SH addresses... but it can be very inconsistent across implementations as there is no real "standard" Undecided

Indeed, if you attempt to sign a message within Armory using one of the P2SH-P2PK addresses, it will give you a warning that this is not supported:


So, "Proving ownership" is going to be difficult... I would suspect that if you needed to do so, you would have to deposit some funds into that address and then send a transaction from the address to prove that you have control over it.
