My alliance uses ts and my friend in another corp use vent and they think it's much better. I've only really used TS and I believe it's the standard for voice communication in any game. What's the difference between the two?
The only thing I can think of is that vent is expensive, doesn't sound as good, and doesn't have as many options. So why even bother using vent? Am I missing something?

Vent sounds better by default because it uses a higher bitrate codec. Since Teamspeak can use a higher bitrate just as easily, the sound quality isn't really an issue.
Teamspeak is generally more used for large servers due to its management capabilities and, due to its lower quality by default, lower bandwidth usage. That's why its so much more popular in EVE where you have to worry about 300-man fleets, while in WoW you'll never have more than a 40-man raid.

One neat thing I've found in Ventrilo is Volume Normalization.
That is, you can play with the settings to make people that don't talk loud enough louder and make people that talk too loud quieter, so it normalizes all the volume.
I haven't found a way to do that in teamspeak, but I don't play with it that much. perhaps someone could fill me in?

i also like being able to run TS with ludicrously low bitrates, so it doesn't slow down my prawn torren.. uuh.. eve client.

I personally love Vent, and utterly despise TS, but being part of a major alliance means I have to put up with it.

One fun thing about vent is the Stephen Hawking Taunts. You can bind text to a key, and vent reads it out in synthetic speech. "Shut up and fix me a turkey pot pie!" "Somebody order waffles?"
Good smacktalking fun. ----- TANSTAAFL

I find the majority of people just sound like loud static on ts. _
