Gaim or gaim, please. Legal reasons.
Almost all of Gaim has been rewritten in the past 10 months, with the first release of the beginnings of the rewrites in April. A lot has changed, and it's not weaker than Trillian (unless weak refers to not having skin support, which you can kind of do in GTK anyway).
Some new stuff is under-way in Gaim. One of the big changes is our core/UI split, which separates the UI from the backend logic, so there may be a native skinnable Win32 port in time. I'm working on a port for my Zaurus PDA, and there's a port being done (slowly) for MacOS X.
I can assure you that a lot of the time, Trillian is playing catch-up to the stuff we're working on, but use what you find easiest and best.
