C-c C-t and C-u C-c C-t both bind to the same function. The C-u just
provides a prefix value of 4 to the function so it can behave
differently (displaying the menu of todo choices)
You probably want to set
(setq org-use-fast-todo-selection t)
so that C-c C-t shows the menu by default.

If you have your todo states defined in sequences you can use S-left
arrow and S-right arrow to cycle between the states quickly.
I use the following TODO settings:
(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s!)" "|" "DONE(d!/!)")
(sequence "WAITING(w@/!)" "SOMEDAY(s)" "|" "CANCELLED(c@/!)")
(sequence "QUOTATION(q!)" "QUOTED(Q!)" "|" "APPROVED(A@)" "EXPIRED(E@)" "REJECTED(R@)")
(sequence "OPENPO(O!)" "|" "CLOSEDPO(C@)")
(sequence "|" "NOTE(n)" "PHONE(T)")))
so if I have a task
* TODO Do something
then S-right arrow moves to STARTED and a second time moves to DONE
HTH,
Bernt
