I switched to redis since several years ago for simple task queue solution. For my usage (low to medium traffic at most in corporate environment) redis is easier to use and has very little cpu and ram footprint compared to rabbitmq (note that I only use redis for message queue, thus low memory consumption). Never got any message dropped so far. RabbitMQ uses too much memory right from starting up, not ideal for use in a resource constrained server.
