I personally like JSLint because it helps me find errors. As for the style, 
here's one tip that has helped me quite a bit:

When JSLint shows many issues, I paste the code in http://jsbeautifier.org/ 
first. When I run JSLint again, a huge chunk of the reported issues do not show 
up anymore. It's not a perfect solution, but it may reduce the noise 
considerably.
