Don't use C-c LETTER, because these sequences are reserved for
users.

"GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual":

| Emacs Lisp CodingConventions

|    * Please do not define `C-c LETTER' as a key in your major modes.
|      These sequences are reserved for users; they are the *only*
|      sequences reserved for users, so do not block them.
| 
|      Instead, define sequences consisting of `C-c' followed by a control
|      character, a digit, or certain punctuation characters.  These
|      sequences are reserved for major modes.
| 
|      Changing all the Emacs major modes to follow this convention was a
|      lot of work.  Abandoning this convention would make that work go
|      to waste, and inconvenience users.
| 
|    * Sequences consisting of `C-c' followed by `{', `}', `<', `>', `:'
|      or `;' are also reserved for major modes.
| 
|    * Sequences consisting of `C-c' followed by any other punctuation
|      character are allocated for minor modes.  Using them in a major
|      mode is not absolutely prohibited, but if you do that, the major
|      mode binding may be shadowed from time to time by minor modes.
