I'm always surprised that when I see people talk about queues I never see anyone mention beanstalkd. I've been using it for basically everything for 10 years and it's solid as a rock, incredibly simple and requires basically no maintenance. It Just Works™

Yes, I liked it when I encountered it a few years back. Lately been using redis and rq on a recent project since we're already using redis for caching. Is there much difference other than that?
