We use the same combination :-)
I have not tried the Mozilla calendar yet, but from the siteit seems 
that this
is still much a project in early development...    Webcalendar has so 
many nice
features and has been debugged for quite some time.  Maybe it would be
nice if some of the work done on Webcalendar could be used in Mozilla
calendar?

ical and vcal are different names for basically the same thing.

I remember it as we evaluated it when deciding on a free company calendar
to use.  We chose Webcalendar because it is free in both meanings of the
word, whereas the Netscape calendar wasn't.  And seeing what happened
to it I am glad we chose Webcalendar..
Do you have a reason to go for a dedicated calendar program instead of
a web application like webcalendar?
It still works very well for us...
