I'm comfortable with Prosody (and it takes 10-20 minutes to set up, depending on the trouble with certs).

We should migrate to a CA-provided cert, and the two better options seem to be Gandi.net and StartSSL.  Gandi.net's wildcard certs are much more expensive than StartSSL, but StartSSL only issues Class 2 wildcard certs (meaning we need send them a little bit of paperwork about NCUC), while Gandi.net issues Class 1 wildcard certs too.
