Jason,

Way back when, we used Jabberd2 for development.  The main issue we had was,
at the time, it required a 3rd-party patch to disable offline message
storage.   From glancing at their patches page[1], it looks like that may
still be the case.  (For the curious, offline storage must be disabled or
the router won't know when a service has been taken offline).

Apart from a few installation woes on previous versions of Ejabberd/Erlang
(mainly on non-X86 machines), Ejabberd has served us well since day 1, and
it's probably easier to install than patching Jabberd2 and building it from
source.  Just my 2 cents.
