Although there are pros & cons to both, I think Livestream ends up being a bit better than ustream in that they offer procaster, ad-free viewing, and HD streaming with their free plan.
Basically until you start investing lots of $$, you can't do multi-camera views (unless you pull it directly from the feed that they use for the big screen)
While I love Livestream, the one thing that sucks is that there is no way for other sites (think TBA, TRA, and WFN) to embed the actual video. It ends up with a link that loads the Livestream in a new window. So consider getting the paid version, or even seeing if we can get Livestream to discount the price for FRC-related channels.
