+1 for qTip's. This is what I generally use just because of the level of customisation available

@DavidYell, you bet qTips are fantastic.

A: 

I personally like the jQuery UI Dialog

Although the UI Dialog is very nice, I don't think it's purpose is for a tool tip type of dialog.

jquery UI Dialog is a bit too much for a hover effect. It's perfect for messaging which require user actions such as to click okay or cancel.
