Please don't forget the Serval Project (http://www.servalproject.org/ http://www.servalproject.org/) that meshes over Wifi and does end-to-end encrypted voice, text and data transfers, has some serious backing (ie not a single developer on their free time), and is open source. I think I like Wifi more because it allows true meshing on long distances, and the Serval project uses simple phones with the application as routers.

What I never really get is why meshing protocols not use any connection available. SMS, GSM, 3/4G, Wifi, Bluetooth, QRCode+Cam could also be used to sync chat histories to some degree. Being flexible about the path should have a huge impact on the resilience of a mesh network. Also using the option to 3/4G helps to overcome the beginning when few people use it.
