If toggle() is not good for you (e.g. because it animates), you can write a small jQuery plugin, like this:

$.fn.toggleIf = function(showOrHide) {
  return this.each(function() {
    if (showOrHide) {
      return $(this).show();
    } else {
      return $(this).hide();
    }
  });
};

and then use it like this:

$(element).toggleIf(condition);
