I haven't tried many, to be honest, but Phaser has been pretty good to me for a while! It's easy to get basic stuff set up, has some physics things built in (good for platformers), and can do really big things. I've also heard that ImpactJS was pretty good, but I never used it because it only went free a couple years ago (I think). Those are the two pure JS ones that I know are really good, but honestly, if you've looked at melonJS and it looks good to you and it looks like it can do what you want, then I'd say use what you're comfortable with!
