I've really enjoyed Marionette as a more (but still not very) opinionated approach to Backbone development. You mentioned the messenger protocols, definitely checkout Backbone.Radio [1], it's being created to replace Wreqr, the current event implementation and has a much cleaner API. The plans seem to be to bundle it with Marionette 3.0 when it gets there, but its usable with the current version.

Backbone.Radio is awesome (Bias Disclaimer: I helped write it with James Smith). It's definitely going to replace Wreqr in Marionette 3.0, and we'll be integrating with it much more.

There is also a lot of other cool things coming in 3.0. We're very focused on the architectural pieces and theres some really great ideas there. See: https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/issues/1...
