Message walls are much easier to use: Well, you should also mention the editing interface: custom edit buttons and special characters.

Message wall allows features that would be impossible with talk pages: If you change talk pages so that a subpage is created for each new discussion, then we have almost the same problems than the actual message wall, so I suggest you to discard this idea. Instead, think about page history and automatic edit summaries: When someone edits the section of an existing talk page, the section is placed in the edit summary, so it's easily to track when there's an update on that thread if people don't mess with the edit summary.
