I don't go on IRC much, but when I do, I always use iRC. It's super easy to use and has an excellent Aqua-ey interface. IRC geeks tend to dislike it, probably because it's not confusing enough and doesn't have a bad interface like most IRC clients I've tried to use.

primarily colloquy, although I do use others on occasion (usually if I'm using OpenOffice and don't want to leave KDE to chat)

I've been using ircle X-chat Aqua and a several other (freeware), I'm considering Snak being the best of them.
Irssi that everyone mentiones, you need to compile that, right?
Haven't ever used the terminal's IRC feature, I think I'll give it a try ^^

I am using Colloquy more and more. The latest nightly keep getting better, it has a great look and it never crashes. I've been using Snak before that. Snak is still an excellent client, very stable, very fast and with a lot of scripts. It's just that Colloquy is more OS X than Snak ever was, and Colloquy shows great promises for the future.
I've tried practically all IRC clients for the Mac: Xchat can't display fonts correctly, Macirssi crashes every time there is a lot of activity on a channel, Conversation doesn't look like an IRC client for me, Minerva is just like Snak but less good, irssi is not a os x app and I have to set my terminal to use iso8859-* instead of utf8 to make it to the mIRC standard, Mozilla Chat might be the worst client I ever tried , ...
If you want a rock solid client, very fast and that uses very few resources, buy Snak. If you want to look into the future, to use a beautiful client, and to have something that will be fully integrated with Mac OS X, go for Colloquy. irssi might still be the way to go for those who want to attach/detach using screen .
Mathieu.

irssi.
ALL the gui mac clients have an insane amount of cpu usage for what they do.
I see 50-100% cpu usage when using any gui irc client on the mac.
This happens when i join a couple of channels with 3k+ people in them.
This is just silly since pretty much any gui irc client on windows will keep your cpu at 0-5% usage.
Kind of sad really. It's irc not video encoding, dammit!

I go back and forth between Colloquy and ChatZilla, but I don't use IRC all that often. I've considered getting more into it, though.

There is an aqua version of irssi, called irssix. Search on Version Tracker for it. Its just a cocao ui, no frills.

Snak is the best all around IRC client out there hands down.
That is if you like GUI clients.
I hate CLI clients.

So my question is, once you have decided upon your favorite IRC client, on what channels do you chat?
Perhaps another thread?

You get what you pay for. Snak has been around since 96/97. And you can find it's coder on many IRC channels. Including #MacNN sometimes.

BitchX for those quick sessions where I only want to go into a single chat room.
X-Chat for those heavy duty IRC sessions that involve multiple channels, DCC chats, and DCC sends.
Both available free from Fink.

ircle.
Hands down, the only way to go. Everything else sucks. I've been using it for 6+ years now.
