Both works for me but If possible I personally prefer not ever having to say
"Oh, but you see that's a batch checkout and has it's own module". If the
existing interface could handle it I'd prefer to just expand it's
functionality.

I guess the first choice is handling it server side or client wise. With the
Ajax circulation I guess you could actually have a javascript that slices the
barcodes and sends them one by one(?). I guess you could even make it possible
to do multiple batch scans and just append all new barcodes to the queue to be
handled by the script. 

Not an authority on the internals of Koha though so it's really just my two
cents.
