Thats actually not that bad as it looks. The part of dimensions that is 
actually used - I'd have to actually check it again, so take this with a 
grain of salt - is now part of jQuery itself, so dimensions shouldn't be 
needed anymore. The bgiframe plugin is also optional, though required 
when using the autcomplete near a select element, to fix it in IE. Its 
really small anyway.

I use:
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/

I made this decision a few months ago, but I remember going through 4
or 5 options (I even considered writing my own), but in the end I
chose the option that I thought was most likely to see future
development and support.

 Has anyone gone through the choices recently and selected one? If so,
 which did you choose and why?

 I'd like to use it for both local and Ajax server data.

On that matter: On my current roadmap is the API browser, followed by 
the autocomplete plugin. So while there hasn't been updates for the 
autcomplete for some time, the version in SVN is quite stable and 
complete and it'll get updated in the next weeks/months.

I also decided to use that one (Jörn's) after evaluating 4 or 5 others. 
As you (timothy) noticed, many of the solutions borrowed from each 
other, but that one seemed to have the best aggregate of features from 
them all and some of the others looked like they might have been 
stagnating. It has also proven (to me) to be quite stable and easy to 
work with, although I'm using client side data, not ajax-loaded data, so 
can't vouch for that.
