Since there is no answer I will add my two cents, I don't think nanomsg is
ready yet to be used in production although it is now looking really good,
as for zmq/crossroads I would personnaly go with crossroads if I were to
use it on a real project bu that is a presonnal preference.

When I first started to look at ZeroMQ I considered it as a low level
construct to build upon with a goal to remain as simple as possible, in its
current state ZMQ fails that for me at least, crossroads on the other hands
was stripped off of some of the things I disliked in ZMQ and althought it
may not be actively worked on it is stable and does its job.

In the end the best is to try them out and see for yourself which one fits
your needs.
