My personal favorite is Mumble because its latency is uber low and you can actually tell who is talking in-game if you aren't familiar with everyone. But if you're close to lagging, your chat will break up. By then, you have other problems to worry about.
That said, I can use all three. I find both Mumble and Vent to be equally useable, while Skype is difficult to get accustomed to. (Why does it have to be so fking hard to quit Skype?)
Yeah, I'm not too keen on Skype, because there's no PTT. I hate it since my mom and/or sisters' like to come in and start talking to me, thus EVERYONE can hear it LOL
I do like the overlay Mumble has for how you can tell who's talking and whatnot. I liked the feature on Xfire, so major plus from me.
I don't really notice the latency thing personally, because I've never used Vent for LoL or Mumble for WoW. Rather hard to give my comment on that.
