Any of the Logitech range should be fine.

+1 on Logitech

Look at the specs, most of the time you won't need HD, especially if its just for skype, its unnecessary and may even cause a slow connection. Also, keep it above 640 x 480, that's not a great resolution. You can always go higher and use less but you can't go lower and use more

well, any webcam (even tis cheap one from Argos) will (must) work with skype, no point to spend more money for another webcam.... all you need is to install webcam drivers and change skype settings ... thats it
