Bdale, I've gone with ejabberd for my plugserver setup [0].  ejabberd is
easy to setup by hand and my automatic-setup script is also complete (it
required only dpkg-reconfigure to be up and running).

Pros:

- - Easy to configure via web-interface.

- - Incredibly stable.

- - Used widely (presumably this means the code has also undergone lots of
  review?)

- - Very low memory footprint when not under load (never ran a server with
  more than 5 connected users at a time though).

Cons:

- - The web-configuration tool is a frontend to the database directly,
  bypassing the config files.  If you use the web-configuration, the
  config files themselves are useless.
