jQuery is better,

  1. it has noConflict method that allows you to easy migrate, having both prototype/scriptaculous and jquery library included

  2. jQuery is light weight especially in compare with scriptaculous

  3. jQuery produce very simple code that easy to test/review

  4. jQuery support CSS 2/3 selectors even browser doesn't

  5. For ROR there is a plugin jRails
