The first one that jumps out at me when I've evaluated it are batches (a Sidekiq Pro feature, though there are some Sidekiq plugins that support the same)

Ah neat, I didn't realize GoodJob had batches, great.
I am (and have been for a while, not in a hurry) considering them each as a move off resque.
The main blocker for me with GoodJob is that it uses certain pg-specific features in a way that makes it incompatible with transaction-mode in pgbounder -- that is, it requires persistent sessions. Which is annoying, and is done to get some upper-end performance improvements that I don't think matter for my or most scales. Otherwise, I much prefer GoodJob's development model, trust the maintainer's judgement more, find the code more readable, etc. -- but that's a big But for me.
