It depends :)

It would probably be the easiest solution that would allow you to cache the
processor.

Even easier, use the xsl processing instruction if performance is not a
problem. Is the XSL going to run multiple times after a page has loaded or
just once?

Would you be using it with some javascript framework like jquery? If so, there
is a jquery plugin for XSL which might fit in better.

If you are in control of the XSL, it might be better just to write the JS for
the transform yourself so you can tune it to provide just what you need. If
you just need a simple transform, the JS is pretty simple.

best,
