Should I have my server return JSON data and then have the JavaScript parse it to create / render HTML directly or should I have my server-side code return HTML directly, which can be directly placed by the JavaScript.
Thoughts?

Render the code server side (e.g. as it is done in Rails’ AJAX), then return the view to the client where it will just be placed.
Then profile your code. If it turns out to be too slow, return the JSON and think of a way to render it client-side.
Your priority for this should be to not make the whole thing too copmlicated.
