I like armory offline nature more than the faster, smaller but more online electrum.
AFAIK, you could use Electrum to create and manage an offline wallet easily as well.

i have not tried armory myself. i'm a big fan of electrum, though. great for a perpetual newbie such as myself, and no need to download the entire blockchain. 
Me niether, i used electrum also, but i dont keep anything big there, just some "pocket money" for fast transactions, so that i dont need to sync my local wallet everytime.
I never trust web based wallets too much,as you never know what will happen next..

) .

Which of these are better for gambling?
are both of these light weight wallets?

Why would one wallet be better for gambling than another? Both are equal. And not, armory is the opposite of light weight. It requires you to download the whole blockchain.
For now blockchain weights 23GB and still growing... For some people this is big drawback.

I personally prefer Armory. Didn`t used many times Electrum
I prefer Electrum - I am not technical at all and find it much more intuitive to use
It's a lot more user friendly and faster to run than most of the other trusted wallets but it's not the best option for security but having said that you can create a paper wallet on there.

If you are looking for the most secure and feature rich wallet then get armory. No other wallet has the encryption features armory has, for protecting your private keys.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
I'm looking for a non-hosted wallet, and I've narrowed down my choices to Armory or Electrum, since I don't have the resources to support Bitcoin Core, and MultiBit has some bugs that aren't preferred for what I'm doing.
So which one would you choose to hold your Bitcoin? Armory or Electrum?
Also let's say I have an nondescript number of Bitcoin waiting to be moved, for this we'll say 3BTC.

Both clients are great. Electrum is more user-friendly and Armory has more features.
IMO if you are talking about a small amount of bitcoin, it is better to use Electrum.
But if you have a significant amount of bitcoin, I think it deserves some of your time to set up an offline Armory wallet.
Is he using the word 'resources' for dependencies and blocks or just dependencies?
Kindly,

Electrum for ease of use and beginners.
Armory if you need more security.

Armory has proven to work.
Electrum is still new to most users.
AFAIK, Electrum is here for almost 2 years now.
2 years is a really long period of time in the cryptocurrency world and so I wouldn't use the word "new" to describe it.
They didn't do a good job promoting it then.

Electrum easy to use and no Blockchain to download.
Electrum, simpler and less reliant on you being a complete tech nerd
Would choose Electrum for it's quickness and simplicity, not having to download the entire blockchain is a huge bonus. Ideally if you're storing a substantial amount of btc I would use Bitcoin Core or Armory
I use electrum and i think it is the best bitcoin light client
you don't need to sync full blockchain of bitcoin, good for daily use
about armory, can i change where i keep/put my blockchain in different drive on my PC?
or it's only stored in C: drive?
