Should I use jQuery UI full or custom?

Sometimes I just got tired of choosing the bundle. One is hassle, another is while using third-party scripts, I need to make sure the custom build has the widget support.

On the other hand, I am also concern about the size of the javascript when a full build is used instead of custom build. Is that negligible? Those widgets that I want is already 100k+, while the full build is 200k+.

Many thanks.

that really depends on what you need.

but...(and thats what i do)
i'll suggest to use the full jqueryui for development mode, for the ease of not wondering and deciding what modules you are about to use while in developemnt...

when you go production, just cut the things you haven't used using the jqueryui custom builder...

another solution for production is to use the minified version of both jquery and jqueryui (the full version) right from google's/microsoft's cdn. most clients probably already have those scripts and stylesheets cached within the browser, and if not, google/ms cdn will serve it to them and u wont have to worry about your server serving those pages.

google's cdn

microsoft's cdn
