The truth of the matter is, Jquery uses MediaTemple, and their site is very optimised and if you are loading the compressed libraries, you aren't using very much of their 1TB+ bandwidth they get a month. But I stick to if you really want to off-load the scripts so they load faster since some hosting companies tend to lag on static distribution I would go with Google API which only goes down, well actually only once that I know of :P.
