Jacks are better, of course.
The implied odds are greater with AQs than with JJ, though.
With position, AQs should call this re-raise.
Out of position the AQs is a must fold to a re-raise.
I think that these two hands are so close in long term value that it is almost a coin flip (no pun intended) as to which won will be the better hand.
Being NL, obviously the jacks have a tremendous advantage here with position.
However, I think that a very agressive NL player will take this pot down PF when he reads his opponent for >QQ and re-raises with the AQs.
It's too close to call, and largely position dependant, so I feel that what makes one hand stronger than the other is position and stack size.

Implied odds are NOT greater with AQs. This is what we have been saying all along. In all instances of NL cash games, I would rather have JJ than AQs given no other information. Why don't people recognize the "golden" rule of NL cash games. Sets are money. This is why every good NL player knows pocket pairs are the best hands in NL. I take any pocket pair over any other hand in full ring game.
