I don't have a personal preference, but kvm is on freenode not oftc.
So is RHEV.
Not directly virt related but #lvm is on freenode as well (vdsm makes extensive use of it so the same logic follows here).
Jboss is mainly on freenode as well (no oftc presence)

So it sounds to me simpler to move ovirt over to freenode now that we have the channel, but I don't feel strongly about it either way.
