I'm also interested in this topic. Next year I might be able to write an article about a software system whose components use ActiveMQ for communication. However this system was not designed as a microservices system, so I'm eager myself to see if it works well.

I guess RabbitMQ might be a good decision in general, maybe even IBM MQ if you want to spend money on it. Kafka on the other hand is a bit special, but probably the messaging system of choice when you really have massive amounts of (small) messages and the publish-subscribe pattern matches your architecture.
