I prefer a mixed approach:

Hardcode any necessary styles with JS. For example, a tooltip[1] needs 
absolute positioning and a resonable high z-index.

Style everything else via stylesheets, using IDs and classes: There can 
by only one tooltip instance at a time, so it is safe to give it an ID 
(#tooltip). Subelements of the tooltip are referenced by tag names or 
classes (h3, p.body, p.url). The plugin allows to add extra classes to 
the tooltip when applied to certain elements, allowing you to give one 
tooltip several styles.

I think Stefan Petre (Interface) prefers the JS approach: Put everything 
into JS, require no additional CSS files. Works quite well, too, and is 
easier to manage with lots of plugins used.
