In my opinion Google Hosted Libraries[1] are the best way to go if you're serving "big" commonly used JavaScript libraries to folks.

One of the major upsides is that it's so heavily used, that a user probably already has it cached in their browser. At least that's the idea, not sure of actual numbers.

And we add another nail in the "decentralized" web's coffin and give Google even more data.

Hosting a 32kb library yourself shouldn't be that hard in the days of 50mbps+ LTE mobile internet.

I agree with this sentiment.

For development purposes ('grab the latest version, from Google because it's convenient') I'd go with Google, for a production deployment not so much.

I agree with you but to pull number out of thin air. I would honestly be surprised if 50mbps+ LTE mobile internet is even 1% of the connected internet.
