I used it a long time ago and I am thinking of using it again in the future.

Any thoughts on that? Likes? Dislikes?

I have been using addonchat for about a year and I like it. I use their professional plus package which cost 125 per year. you can compare packages here http://www.addonchat.com/features.html .
Pros(that i can think of):

• Integrates with vb easily
  
• nothing is hosted on your site
  
• allows for remote authentication scripts which Lets you assign specific specific permissions based off of usergroups.
  
• easy to use
  
• automatically emails me transcripts once a day
  
• Auto login for signed in users
  
• lets you add custom emoticons as well as custom chat/event sounds
  
• I personally have not experienced any down time

Cons(that i can think of):

• support is some times a little slow in responding but have only used it once or twice.

I would recommend it.
