However, with the possibility that you will ever end up on a team or perhaps want to set your difficulty in such a way that you face larger mobs, I might consider /Energy.
Sonic is sort of cone-heavy and Boost Range with cones is just great. Just great.
There's also synergy in Power Boost + Siren's Song.
Power Sink is the only thing that /Electric has that you might have rather had in /Energy, but I don't think it would mix as well anyway.

I play heroes on Champion.
I play villains on Virtue.
I think I'll go with /Energy then. I tend to delete when things get a bit slow, and I think I stand a better chance with it. Thanks.

I would also reccomend /Ice as a secondary for Sonic. Sonic has rather longish activation times and it's quite possible to have attacks sitting unused in your power tray.|

You can easily stack sleeps (Sirens and Frozen Aura) and keep even bosses asleep. The single target stun and freezing touch combined with a hold from either the fire or electric Epic give you tools to mez a sleeping opponent and then take them out with the heavy hitting slow animating single target attacks.
With decent +rech slotting and a bit of global +rech you can chain your AoE and cone attacks smoothly and each one applies a beneficial side effect (sleep, knockback, -resistance, slow).

I have been playing a Sonic/Ice Blaster just for something different and I am loving her. She has slowly become my fav toon of late.
