I use kopete because of integration to KDE (and decent IRC
client), but what's the best is very loaded question. Run
apt-cache search jabber client
and you will get what's available. Most widely used on Linux are:
* Kopete (KDE; multi-protocol; well-integrated into KDE, support
of Jabber is substantially better in 0.12 version, which
unfortunately has not been packaged for Debian yet -- any
volunteers? -- I use SVN version, but tarball is available at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kopete/kopete-0.12.1.tar.bz2?download)
* Gajim (Gnome -- Jabber only, supports a lot of advanced Jabber
features)
* Gaim (Gnome -- multi-protocol, less strict about conformity
with Jabber standards and customs)
* Psi (Qt -- well-looking in KDE; Jabber only and highly
conforming with standards; now looking on support for
VoIP/Jingle -- voice messaging with GTalk)
* Tkabber (Tcl/Tk -- i.e., never looks at home anywhere ;-), but
it is very well developed Jabber-only client, highly conformant,
with a lot of features).
Does it help?

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and
announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news.
The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new
building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your
pockets."
