You'd want to use the Google Hangouts on-air for the 'studio mode' or
whatever it's called, that gives you reasonable quality stereo audio.
I think RTMP is the way to go though these days, using watchpeoplecode
or youtube live. Using a streaming server and OBS means no firewall
problems, and plenty of backup options. You have complete control over
audio and video quality.. Be sure to set the FPS low. I don't really
see a disadvantage of using a streaming server. If you want to set up
a private server then you can do it with nginx.
I almost always have problems with skype..
I used to use icecast server and gstreamer client but it was never
perfect. OBS seems to be a really good piece of software.

I use a hacked version of jacktrip that allows for some more complex network routings when necessary, although you can get quite far with the non-hacked version as well. In February, for the first performance of my live coding Sinfonia at the University of Birmingham I had two sets of jacktrip connections going (one to Toronto, the other to Montréal) and it worked just fine then too.
