Best Instant Messenger?

I also use Meebo, not because it is that great but it is better than anything else I have tried so far. By the way, if you are not aware, Meebo is a DATA based IM client, and does not increase your SMS messages. I have verified this over the last 40 days that I have had my Droid.
The IM client that was on the older Verizon phones that I had (Voyager, LG Touch, ENV) did use your SMS messages exclusively.
I would like to have something that integrates, but keeps each service separate. I hate seeing all of my lists combined into one if I log onto more than one service.
Ewww, that's a big negative for me.
Have over 1000 people in your friends list on Facebook, and try to find the one particular person you are looking for from MSN or other service. It is quite a pain IMO.
Im siding with Ebuddy for now, tried out meebo for a while and wasnt pleased with the interface. Ebuddy seems to do it all, you can categorize by name, group, or account type for those who it matters. And ive been using it heavily for the last couple days with no forced disconnects, except maybe when i awoke from a night of sleeping. Only wish is if it could possibly notify me when particular people sign online. All in all great app, easy and fun to use. (anticipate when the general public gets together on this and drives away whole pay per text message monstrosity once and for all!! Unlimited data plan you say?)
When I bought Droid. I am very picky with the appearance and stability.
the only 2 apps that stand out was...
Agile Messenger and eBuddy.
I love the appearance of Agile Messenger. Very nice designed user interface and nice bubble chat. very nice design. however there is one minor with that app, it tend to lose connection from time to time. If it weren't that issue, I'd keep using this.
After that, I tried eBuddy. Its very decent app with no issues. I m not crazy about limited settings/options and the chat bubbles design but overall its very stable and nice. I would recommend eBuddy!
I have been using eBuddy last few days now. I keep Agile Messenger installed just in case it get a update that address the connectivity issue.

Isn't this what GTalk does?? Why not just use that? It's worked good for me...
I too am trying to find out which messenger apps to use. Not too many I know uses Gtalk (overseas contacts mostly used yahoo) so I'm leaning toward trying out ebuddy or meebo. Does anyone know if both clients uses your "sms/text" usage or data only? My sms plan is only 250/mo.
i use ebuddy and it does not use your sms plan just your data plan. i think meebo is the same way.

bbm is proprietary and closed... so no.
I use meebo, no problems whatsoever. Though some are saying ebuddy is better (don't know why).
