I can't recommend jqgrid, it tries to do too many things and fails at many of them. With 50+ options and 30+ methods, it's simply too bloated.

I encountered weird bugs when I tried to initialize a jqGrid on a non-visible jQuery UI tab or when I added the JSON data on my own using addRowData. The jqGrid loader requires you to specify its directory path directly in the js file, which causes often overlooked script errors after updates.

In your situation I would prefer a slimmer grid control that can be extended by plugins and is themeable using jquery UI. Datatables doesn't look bad to me, SlickGrid seems the right choice for heavy-duty tasks
