Yes, having around 128 kbits is far enough for a good quality
conference.

Yes, very good choice, it has a philips chipset and the philips driver
for Linux is of very good quality. Moreover that camera has an internal
microphone that you will be able to use with GnomeMeeting.

No idea about that one. I'm using a 10 Euros headset, I don't use its
microphone as I'm using the webcam microphone instead. Actually, a
simple headset from a CD player or Walkman is far enough if you buy that
camera.
