Response to ooh323c bugs is very slow, and patches can
take some time to be applied if you manage to fix the
issue for yourself.

That said I prefer ooh323c, as it does not require
OpenH323 or PWlib.  I find building it easier.

Since you mention gateway mode, then ooh323c is 
worth testing.  The bugs that I am aware of are
mostly gatekeeper related (but not all).  Since
the channel doesn't have any external dependencies,
it is the easiest to test.  If it doesn't work for
your setup, there's a very good chance that 
chan_h323 included with Asterisk will and then you
can deal with getting the OpenH323 and PWlib
dependencies meet. (Not a major issue, but one I
have preferred to avoid)

Bugs happen.  I've found that the code for 
chan_ooh323c is reasonably easy to read and
make patches for.  The current release seems
stable and I have it running on four light to
moderately loaded servers.
