For text based chat the answer is clearly tcp.
For voice chat it depends of your encoding... if for example you are
encoding with mpeg-1 layer3 then you might better use tcp as every
packet must arrive. Though If you have an encoding that allows loss of
some information just resulting in some lower quality for some time ..
then it might be better to use UDP ...
Though in general I would recommend you TCP as it works better in the
presens of NAT .. with UDP both clients need their ports forwarded ...
with tcp only one...
