In my opinion, it depends on what sort of discussion you're talking about. If it's to facilitate just random talking and promote community cohesion, I am more partial to comments and the forum function as it is easier for people to keep track of certain discussion. However, if it is about discussion in regards to wiki-wide changes and thus more important decisions, I prefer talk pages because I find it to provide an easier overview of the discussion as well as edit conflict -which may be something weird to propose as a benefit, but I mean that in the sense of, it makes sure that you don't miss anyone's reply, which is something that can very easily happen with comments, considering that you always have to refresh in order for the possible new, intermediate edits to show up.
