Data Annotations is a server side technology and jQuery is client side. To do both client/server validation you need both, its not a question of either/or.

xVal is highly recommended:

With xVal you can do both client & server side with Data annotations & jQuery or other validation engines like castle....

The simple answer is "Both!"

You want your users to have a fast, smooth UI so instant feedback is essential (unless you can guarantee that your round-trip time is ultra-fast) and saves on round-trips. However, you cannot guarantee that only your clients with this validated input is being posted to your server so you need to validate there as well.
