My feeling is that there’s probably not a best solution – rather people will use the tool they are familiar with. The preferences on the day may well reflect the tools people used on the few days prior to the event.
Note, though, there is an issue about finding the information. Discussions about the workshop are split across Wikis, IM transcripts, Blogs, comments on t Blogs, etc. This is fine for experimenting on the day but there is probably a need for selection of the tools for use in a service context.

I think on the day more stuff went into the wiki. However, this was all basically of a ‘discussion board’ nature. We could have run this as a set of discussion boards as much as a wiki I think. I’d be interested to know if anyone edited someone elses post, rather than just adding their own comment. I corrected a single spelling mistake, but otherwise left other peoples content alone.

I sort of came to the opposite conclusion but then having just read the chat transcripts I obviously started concentrating on the Wiki just as the IM chat rooms took off and started to become useful/interesting!
