Conclusion
When comparing features, Slide Show2 is the best script for showing an image gallery. It supports different types of transitions, customizable options and provides a lot of examples in their website.
Smooth Gallery is also good. It takes less space in a web page and can be used as a featured content slider.
Mootools Vs jQuery
In the previous post, I’ve listed 10+ image gallery plugins for jQuery. Finding plugins for both jQuery & Mootools is a fairly easy job. Also, both libraries have plugins which matches in functionality. So I think, it is just a matter of choice. If you are comfortable with jQuery use it, or use Mootools otherwise.
Anyway, I think Slideshow 2 & Smooth Gallery are excellent scripts which lacks alternative in jQuery. jQuery has CrossSlide which has transition effects similar to Slide Show 2, but it is not complete as a gallery plugin as Slide Show 2 is. And for Smooth Gallery, I couldn’t find a jQuery alternative. Hope someone will port it to jQuery.
Edit: Links corrected, missing image for Smooth Gallery added
