Go with suckerfish or related menu system. Because the links are part of the HTML search engines will pick them up. What you have right now has the links hard-coded inside an external javascript file which won't be picked up by search engines.
Also with suckerfish the javascript reliance is minimal (only to allow dropdowns for IE6 and earlier). The rest is implemented using CSS. If an IE6 user doesn't have javascript enable they will at least see the top-level of the menu, whereas the pure javascript menus you use now result in no menu at all. Browsers that don't support CSS at all will simply see an unordered list. Better than nothing? That's for you to decide. I'll shamelessly plug my own menu system based on suckerfish, but updated to include IE/Mac support and does some of the work regarding alignment and dropdown positions for you.
