Personally I use prototype library and the eID method found in typo3.

That will give you the flexibility. I never used xajax since I settled 
on using prototype.
So I can't tell you how good xajax is. I also send JSON strings instead 
of XML
over the 'wire' since IE's XML parser is different from the rest of the 
world.

I sometimes end up in trouble (I think the whiteboard extension also
doesn't work under IE) using the browsers XML parser.
