I would strongly recommend using a small Polycom device with Skype. The [Polycom CX100 Speakerphone][2] has an echo cancelling feature that is very effective and the sound quality is exceptional.

You can use this device with Skype during standup meetings with people present in the room and remote staff can use a headset. This is the best way I know to maximize sound quality and minimize echo on a small budget.
