JL was, and still is top notch. Depends on the setup and what you plan to do with your system..
I personally have never owned any JL products but, JL subs are intensely powerful and do sound great. They make excellent quality gear but, I have always believed that everything they make is way over-priced...thats the #1 and really only reason I've never been into JL products.
I will say, I've heard more then one complaint about their sub amps (mono) but the subs have always been solid..
I like Clarion myself, I have 2 amps and a 12" sub, all by Clarion, and I have always been pleased..
I suppose its all personal preference but, like with alot of things, you pay for the JL Audio name!!
...just my 2 cents
