Importance of Jury Rigging?

Unless you plan on cheating to give yourself unlimited cash and always getting Raul to repair your shit, then it's definitely worth taking. Even more so if you plan on using unique weapons frequently.
But not really if you keep a ton of repair kits on you at all times.
 
Jury Rigging is really not that great, since the ability to make Weapon Repair Kits is actually pretty damn easy, especially if you do That Lucky Old Sun. No, the perk is more for people who use unique, heavy duty armor, like Power Armor/Desert Ranger armor. That's about it, honestly.

If you want to use the Gannon family or Remnants power armour then it's even more valuable as those sets have terrible item health, but even then i always opt for the T-51b because i dislike having to repair my armor constantly... sodding Deathclaws!
 
Weapon repair kits are easy to make at 40 Repair, since everyone who plays NV invests in Repair anyways.
You gotta poke around factories and power plants for your fix of scrap electronics, scrap metal, duct tape, and such for it though (unless you got Old World Blues)
Jury Rigging is a great perk for fixing unique armour that doesn't really have an alternative to repair with (like the Chinese Stealth armour) and unique weapons.
 
Most of my builds use one of the following for the endgame armor: Courier Duster, Elite Riot Gear, Advanced Riot Gear, T-51b Power Armor, or Gannon Family Tesla Armor. Seeing as Weapon Repair Kits can't repair armor, would Jury Rigging be worth it if I used one of those suits?

Also, doesn't repairing an item with another instead of using a weapon repair kit increase the durability by a larger fraction than if you use the kit?

Depending on your repair skill, yeah. WRKs are a rarity if you don't plan on scavenging to build them or find the schematic in Dead Money. I'd say take the perk. It's certainly not useless, and it's nice to have the option when your rare armour is trashed.
 
If one decides to wear anything above light armor, Jury Rigging is a must, since Item HP for even the heavy armor equipment is less than stellar, as the Courier Duster can be repaired by simple Leather Armor. Even Joshua Graham's Armor, the armor that's considered to be one of the best light equipments out there, can be easily repaired by Powder Ganger Guard armor.
