Webcam/headphones recommendations

Would loike some advice! Basically I want to be able to talk to my dad over the t'interweb using a webcam/mike/headphones combo, he has skype and windows live messenger.
Which system is it best to use? Skype or messenger?
What webcam combo would you recommend? We are looking to buy two lots because I want one for my dss so he can talk to daddy when he is at mummy's house and he can also talk to mummy when he's at our house. (He think's it's a great idea - we told daddy he's out numbered ). Lots of choice but admit to being a bit overwhelmed! Also don't want anything too complicated to use as dss's mummy & me are okay with basic stuff on the computer but neither of us want to faff about with anything too cumbersome. We both have lap tops, so would want something portable and laptop friendly (though she may prefer to use hers on her desktop as that's the one dss uses most).
Please help!

Cat-I use a logitech webcam and messanger and have had no problems but I haven't used Skype so can't compare. I bought the webcam from PCWorld, it has everything built into it but also came with headphones and mic sepaerate (like thought clever phone sets you see them use in offices)so that you can have a private conversation. The pack cost around £40. HTH
