According to strict usage, these are all good if only two people are involved; 'one another' if more. However, I seldom notice which I am using when speaking.

MrM, what's the difference between, talk to each other and talk with each other. I have seen both forms.

'talk to each other' -- suggests a goal-directed dialogue.
'talk with each other' -- suggests an extended conversation.
In most cases, they are meant to imply essentially the same thing, however.
