Why not use sune,antisune, fat sune and fat antisune? Along with their mirrors. Even less memorizing.
Because it's easier to use your head to calculate the effect of two adjacent corner rotations (instead of three).
Wide Sunes are useful and easy to learn, but try this:
- Set up any "annoying" (2-edges flipped) OLL.
- If it has two opposite edges, figure out if one of the two AUFs for F R U R' U' F' will give you a single oriented corner.
- If it has two adjacent edges, figure out whether F U R U' R' F' or its mirror will give you a single oriented corner.
I've never really sat down to learn this, but it was so easy that I just got used to it. I can do it in a split-second now; I could describe the visual cues I use, but they're easy to derive by looking at the case.
Come to think of it, this has part of my ELS strategy for a long time. (Along with wide Sunes and whatever else I happened to know.)
Of course, if you're going to be learning full OLL anyhow, I recommend compound OLL instead. If you'll be going for speed some day, fast recognition is more important than the number of algs/moves you use.
