Best Practice to refer a asp.net control in jQuery

I see 4 or more ways of referring to an asp.net control in jQuery

$("input[id$='txt1']"); OR $("#<%= txt1.ClientID %>"); OR $("#txt1"); OR or access using class

Can you guide which one to choose in what scenario

Here's a great discussion about this topic, specifically about speeding up the performance of the endsWith selector (look in the comments too for some alternate solutions as well).

I don't like seeing inline code so I would never use $("#<%= txt1.ClientID %>");

I would probably use $("input[id$='txt1']"); since I wouldn't have duplicated names in my code and matching on the part that isn't .NET's addition will be quite reliable.

I've been using the endsWith selector that you have included in your question. All other options require additional leg-work on the server-side.
