I was going to ban suggestions involving emacs, but moved too slow. :)
Thx, though.
Good for Opera, it does it out of the box.

You'll like xchat. Erc/emacs is good, but way too much hassle to get up
and running properly, IMO.

Of course, it all depends on the definition of 'best', but for a
lisp programmer, which on a newsgroup like cll, it is the assumed
context, only an emacs irc client can be the best, since it allows you
to interact on irc with the lowest overhead and context switch cost.
You can seamlessly program, query emacs for documentation or irc for
help. It's alsmost if emacs suddenly has become intelligent and can
program for you!

Actually Ubuntu itself does it out of the box too -- it includes Emapthy IM
client which includes IRC support (as well as support for dozen other
communication protocols).

You mean the "for Ubuntu" constraint? I already found a Windows client,
but my next universe might be wholly Ubuntu. Actually, starting to toy
with running the AG Server in an Ubuntu VM and developing on Mac OS X.
VMWare does awesome work.

actually, emacs rcirc consumes more resource than a dedicate GUI
one the Colloquy. This was my experienc from about 2005 to 2008 on mac
os x
10.4. But also, emacs rcirc just flatly lost out on so many features
when compared to Colloquy.
i haven't used irc for like 3 years, but here's what i recall:
• emacs one doesn't auto connect when there's network disruption (very
common with wireless)
• emacs rcirc does not notify you if someone mentions your name. (you
have to install some external mac growler extra, but even still, it
sucks.)
some of these can be fixed but that usually means you spend few hours
to dig lisp code and result is usually not satisfactory. There's also
erc...
... quite few others. The only thing i like is that it's integrated.
That i can easily swicch to any buffer and do copy/paste or call any
lisp function such as insert date, link, or use my existing abbrevs
and unicode insertion etc.

For what its's worth I used to use Chatzilla, which is a Firefox
add-on. I found it pretty pleasant and powerful and I'd probably still
use it except it looks ugly on the Mac. Obviously only useful if
you're using Firefox.

It is also part of Seamonkey, the old beloved bloatware which is the
heir of the Netscape Suite (browser+mail+editor+irc+...).

Irssi.
