Well, I'm really glad you asked this particular question.  I'm still
going through a ton of resources on ajax/rails.

So, what I find wonderful about rails is that rails + ajax is like
having a perfect marriage.  They work so well with each other, it's
wonderful to implement both in a project.  By default, rails uses
prototype and scriptaculous but I'm looking into jQuery at the moment.

jQuery seems to be really solid.

Here's a link which will "create" an up-to-date trend chart when you
click on it using google trends:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=jQuery%2CPrototype+ajax%2Cscriptaculous%2Cmootools%2Cdojo&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0

jQuery
Prototype
Scriptaculous
Mootools
Dojo

You also have jMaki but that uses jQuery, but jMaki also has great
support in certain IDE environments like netbeans.  But, IDEs are
another subject altogether.

If you notice by the trends chart, jQuery is heavily on the rise.
