I reckon it'll be a complexity thing.
Disque uses the same kind of tremendously simple API as Redis does. It appears to have ~15 commands, and is basically just a job broker and nothing else. If it gains traction, it will solve a specific common problem well.
RabbitMQ is a more comprehensive message broker, and more complex. It ships with federation, an HTTP API, SASL, that sort of thing. Useful tool, but likely more complex to setup and administer (to the point that it might be excessive for some use cases).
Obviously this is all subject to personal suitability though!
