Sharp ones 
If you want a clean cut ie no noticable chopping Ive done it using a circular saw and 40 tooth blade (face the good edge opposite you with frog tape and tie it to another piece of wood to be cut)
Not sure if it can be done with a jigsaw without fraying

I usually use Bosch fine for wood (T101B) and they give a very clean cut.

As above though, a circ saw is probably better for MDF, unless you need to make curved cuts. MDF is quite tough on the blades and will take off the edge quite quickly, which then leads to less clean cuts.
