Depends on the style, the most efficient and effective punch technique in JKD is the straight lead.
There are more types of jabs in boxing than the snappy one most of us see on TV.

I could effectivly do a flying side kick on a stunned mugger off the curb and into on comming car.

All good points. So, what I think we have here, as opposed to an efficiency vs effectiveness argument, is instead a rating scale of techniques in general, based on their efficiency and effectiveness.

A jab is efficient, for sure; fast, straight line, recover quick for defense. But as far as effectiveness, its damage capability isn't as high as that of a hook punch, usually. So, we have a scale to put the techniques on, and we see which way the scale leans more, I guess.
