Now I'm wondering how da'i and ju'ocui compare.

"ju'o cu'i" indicates that the speaker in not quite certain that the proposition is true. It corresponds to English "perhaps" or "maybe".

   ju'o cu'i do pu tolcpa lo do santa lo sorpeka

   Perhaps you left your umbrella in the bus.

"da'i" indicates that the proposition is not factual. It corresponds to English "would".

  da'i la .alis. pu banli lo ka mamta

  Alice would have been a great mother.
