What is the best jQuery status message plugin?

I like jGrowl and Purr, but jGrowl doesn't have the feature to remain sticky (not close automatially) and Purr doesn't seem to work right in IE 6.

I would like to show messages like... the site is about to go down for maintenance, your such and such job has completed, and stuff like that.

A few options...

  • Humanized Messages (demo, 3 KB) looks very cool, and has a nice history rollout
  • Pines Notify (13 KB) is extremely customizable and supports jQuery UI themes
  • jGrowl (6 KB) does actually have a sticky option - use { sticky: true }
