I like the IRC style of chatrooms as it's familiar to me, but as others have already stated, I would prefer a service that provides additional features (ala HipChat or Campfire) such as file sharing, searchable history, and allows attendees to jump on a video call. Bonus points if you allow users to join over the phone as well.
We use Google Hangouts for video conferencing with my team of 3 (all remote), but we have to keep a campfire session open for sharing files and links relevant to the discussion. Even with this set up I'm missing a way to join our ad-hoc conference calls over the phone when I'm away from my computer.
