Vent is generally a lower latency prog, so there's less voice lag. Vent also uses better codecs so the quality should be superior. TS, on the other hand, has a more user friendly interface for people that may not be familiar with setting up voice chat. Neither program has been updated in a few years.

Depending on who's voice it is that's too high/low that can be fixed with either a right click or the setup menu.
The first thing is to make sure people have their system sound set up properly. When running vent I'll have the mic options set to max and the speaker option (now powering headphones) to about half and that seems to work fine.
If you're the one that's too loud/quiet and other people are having problems hearing you, go into the setup window: in the lower right portion of what comes up there's a section labelled "Amplifiers." If you're too quiet then raise the outbound, and vice versa if you're too loud. If everyone else on vent is too quiet/loud and you're the only one with hearing woes, then raise/lower inbound accordingly. If it's only one person for you that's quiet/loud but everyone else can hear them fine, or if they have their amplifiers up and people still can't hear them, you can right click on someone's name and (iirc, can't look at it exactly atm since no one else is on right now) under either user or misc, there should be an option to raise/lower someone's voice independently of the rest of everyone else.
As to the static, that sounds like what happens when someone is using voice activation and has the sensitivity set too low so it picks up everything. That's something you just have to play around with in test mode. Just find the balance where you can speak and be heard but mutterings/whispers won't get picked up. The lower the sensitivty the more it will pick up. The other option would be to switch to push-to-talk. One thing to remember about vent is, just like with TS, you can see who's speaking by the little speaker next to their name that changes color. If someone's speaker is green and they're not talking, it means they're either holding the push-to-talk key or they have their sensitivity set a bit high.
