For something like this I tend to use a combination of libraries. Offhand I'd probably end up using qForms(yes, I know, old school) and Spry, Spry to divide the thing up into sections and qForms for its validation. For some reason jQuery's form validation has just not bought me as a user but probably because I have made so many custom functions to work with qForms over the years that just not been a need to change my validation methods.
