IMHO, empathy has a faaar easier, more elegant and nicer UI than pidgin.
Nothing can be more extensible than Empathy because any program has the full
access to all IM features through the DBus interfaces defined in the
telepathy framework.

Ekiga does only Audio/Video for SIP, it will probably never do other
protocols. Empathy already supports SIP+XMPP and MSN is on the way.
