Yes, these are all good options. Last time I checked (which was years
ago and the situation should only have improved since then), as long as
the webcam is a USB class compliant one, which most of them are, then it
should work with Debian and derivatives.

I think most of ours came from the local "Dollar store" at $2 or $3
each. My wife uses hers all the time with family that is 8 time zones
away. Also, most point and shoot digital cameras just show up as web
cams if plugged in via USB and my DSLR works just fine via gphoto2
with v4l2loopback (though it goes through batteries as the camera does
not access USB power) Can anyone recommend a reasonably inexpensive USB
webcam known to
work with debian (or derivatives).
My old Logitech works fine with Fedora. I do not have a newer
Logitech, so I can only speculate that the newer models would likely
use the same USB driver interface.
