I find it best to use ExtJs, for a number of reasons. One, it's bundled in ColdFusion, and I can rapidly prototype applications (using the cfajax tags), then build out full featured apps that directly resemble the prototypes. Licensing is not an issue, as we are licensed the use of the library with the server. It is also the largest (that I know of) consistent library of components available. What that means is that, aside from being a very large library of client side components, the internal make up and methods of those components are consistent as well, making it easy to code and manage because the objects and method calls maintain familiarity between each other. (not sure if I explained that well, but hopefully you get what I mean). It is also very easy to write one's own user extensions to the library, creating your own reusable set of components for specific tasks.
