Yeah man. iChat video is garbage when it has to go through two routers (one on each end) or from Mac to PC. Very flaky. I use Skype, myself. Flawless. Also, since Skype upgraded their video from like *5*fps to 25fps, it's really the app of choice.
I'll have to try the gmail one. My gmail contacts are in the jabber section of my iChat, so I haven't bothered to do it through the actual Google Mail website.
