We obviously have our reasons for using jQuery (download size, project momentum) but Prototype is certainly the incumbent in Rails. I don't know if a project that is designed to plug into existing websites should make a choice like that just yet. It's more work but probably it is a better idea -- certainly more inclusive -- to leverage projects like jRails and try to support both.
