"Better choice" is relative. To me, YUI is unacceptable because I tried 3 times to show/hide a simple div, and could not for the life of me figure it out. I also posted to their mailing list and got no response.
However, I know people who love it because its namespacing is very predictable. Some people hate the namespacing. A great way to decide is to take a few of your "real" use-cases. Try to implement in both libraries. Then compare the results. Was it fun? Was it quick? Is it maintainable? What is the code size? Have a new person look at them both and ask, "Can you tell what this code is doing?" Then try again with a different usecase. Different libraries have different philosophies about progressive enhancement, plugins, and coding style. I think if you run the tests, you will find that Java programmers will like YUI and everyone else will like jQuery.
