It really doesn't matter, as Gervase said they are server-side vs.  
client-side issues.  Whichever library we use will require server  
side to generate the proper results.

That said, in my experience with YUI, from the server side you should  
be able to generate JSON objects as necessary and be able to populate  
Javascript code with values from the DB. In both these cases I've  
found the Bugzilla's use of Template Toolkit to be very handy and  
useful.
