I can't tell you the exact differences, but oh323 seems more stable to
me, and more actively maintained also. It looks like the native h323
support doesn't have such a high priority amongst * developers.

I've been using oh323 for maybe two months now in my home setup, and
it works OK. With native h323 I even had troubles get it compiling.

Let me point out though that neither h323 nor oh323 support video. The
only channel driver I know about which supports video is SIP, and I
can't comment on the quality since I didn't test that myself. But if
you need video with h323, asterisk won't work for you.
