I used bundle-fu, worked great.

Jammit is newer and fancyer.

it has better compression as it can use the latest compressor from google Closure Compiler considered having the best compression
is harder to use than bundle-fu (makes you define a config file)
has external dependencies (the java runtime to run the closure or yui compressors, written in java).

Another option is asset_packager. I used this over Jammit. Easy to set up, define assets in a yml file, couple of Raks tasks to do the work.

Rails 3.1 will do this automagically, as Ryan Bates shows in his Rails-3.1 Overview.
