The one thing that made me pull back from RabbitMQ years ago was that using it between datacentres was a bad plan, because all the clustering was based on Erlang's underlying cluster implementation and the advice on that was not to use it between geographically distinct locations. I don't know if it's since improved or if that advice no longer holds, but working under an environment where we needed cross-DC redundancy made it impossible to select, for that reason.
