If you use Prototype and Scriptaculous (the GUI side of things for effects and such), then you've got a winner. Something that is missing though is the more GUI-like components that come with toolkits like BlueShoes (php CMS server and client side with separatable JS components - license required depending upon usage). For just the AJAX communication, then prototype is perfectly adequate. Though the 'X' is often easier to work with if it is J as in JSON. Prototype can return JS objects from an AJAX call. PHP support for JSON is fine in this regard (though I would make sure you set JSON_FORCE_OBJECT for json_encode() to make sure empty arrays are returned as objects rather than an empty array if you are building your objects dynamically).
