Tango
Version 1.6 | Developed by TangoMe, Inc. | Free

Skype
Version 3.0.1 | Developed by Skype Software | Free
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype/id304878510?mt=8
PROS:
- Large userbase across different media outlets
- Connects for landline phones
CONS:
- Despite large userbase, video chat only works on iPhone
- Android users can only use app on wifi
Though you should definitely keep Skype around for it's many different ways to connect to others, I recommend that for mobile video chatting specifically, don't download this one and go with Tango to reach the most mobile users.
