My experience with Chatsecure (at least the version I got from F-Droid) was that it was too buggy to be worth it. Specifically, it would initiate OTR conversations with people without me asking. I think it even did so when I explicitly told it not use OTR at all, though it's been a while. If they fix that I might use it again. Do you have this problem, and/or have they fixed it to your knowledge?

I think the version in f-droid is 13.1.2. If you enable the guardian repository in f-droid that should have the 14.0.9 client which is considerably nicer. You can disable all otr if you want, or set it so you need to explicitly enable it when you are chatting with someone. The latest version has adopted the Android L theme as well so it is very well integrated. (I did have the same issue as you with the version in the f-droid repository).
