What is the best (prettiest, easiest API, best performing, most maintainable, most customizable, etc) in browser popup / dialog plugin for jQuery?

I've had good experiences with with Facebox, but I'm curious what else is out there.

There are a LOT of Modal plugins out there:

  • jqModal is very good and my plugin of choice for most projects.

  • Thickbox is pretty old, but is still good and meets a lot of your requirements.

  • There is also ColorBox, which I've heard really good things about but never used.

I like the jQuery UI Dialog, it's nice and not much extra code if you're already using jQuery UI. It's worked well in the projects I've used it in.
