How do these typically compare to Skype or Hangouts in terms of video and sound quality?

From a subjective standpoint: perfectly.

From a technical standpoint: I believe Hangouts is moving to WebRTC soon as well.

What about from a security standpoint? How safe are these web applications, and how confident can I be they're not logging audio or video from my calls? I'm not talking about government intelligence security, I'm talking about not appearing in my pajamas on the pirate bay.

If both parties can get a raw socket in, then it's peer to peer... otherwise it's via proxy.
