You haven’t mentioned what platform (Windows, Linux, Mobile). Here’s the list of clients. You can test them:

XMPP | XMPP Clients

For Windows most popular is probably Pidgin. Some use Gajim, Miranda or Psi. On mobile they say Conversations is the best.

Great！

I’m not using Mac, so can’t really suggest. But i know that regular iMessage client has bad support for xmpp. So it is probably better to use Adium instead.

I have had a test with pidgin, I don’t think is better than spark. of course it’s multi user managment for gtalk or msn , qq etc in one UI , which is more convinent ,but we just use it in a local network , we don’t need so many users.

Every client has something special, but they are the same in general. You send messages, files, use group chats. That’s it You can also try Jitsi if you want voice chat out of the box. But i don’t like its GUI and it doesn’t work well on my server for some reason.
