There seem to a lot of little minor annoyances in the jabber server right  
now. What I think would probably be best is to be ready to merge over the  
existing database, but then to try OpenFire and see if we like it more. I  
have a feeling that most people will be happier with OpenFire, but it is  
impossible to know at the moment without more discussion of problems and  
benefits.

One thing I like about OpenFire is the updating process, the configuration  
and management, and the documentation. I don't know how ejabberd works,  
but it is also possible to easily expand OpenFire through plugins.
