I think that if you will be doing complex javascript stuff then you should dig into jQuery (or another js library) since you have to know your tool very well.
Rails's javascript helpers are useful but they shield you from having to know the javascript part. That can be an advantage when you need something really fast but on the long-term you'd be better off writing javascript yourself. Plus, the helpers "pollute" the html markup with javascript code which is not very nice.
