Google Closure is best in a situation where *all* the JavaScript that will be part of the page is known statically; it goes beyond other minimizers in that, if you follow certain rules, it can perform real optimizations, such as dead-code analysis and function inlining. It can work with a couple of stable libraries outside its domain, as long as you tell it about them, but doesn't fit well with non-aggregated modules loading dynamically ... that defeats dead-code analysis, etc.
