MSN for work. It's helpful when communicating with overseas developers w/ reduced phone costs. AIM at home for talking with my mommy.

Security wise, AOL is about your best bet using GAIM as the client. The others are a security risk I'm no longer willing to take, especially MSN and Yahoo.

I use trillian as a client, but Yahoo, AIM, and IRC as services. Trillian is an all in one program.

I use GAIM for all of my accounts without any of the rest actually installed on my system. Just a heads up on GAIM though, keep it up to date just like all the rest of your software:

I do AIM. Yahoo is not bad. I like the video phone on AIM. Just need a Web Cam and Mic.

See who your talking to. No fingers required.

I use AIM because of the video conferencing. My daughter and I both have iSights for our iBooks, and it works very well.
