Angular is fast and easy for development. Very ittle boiler-plate and comes with easy UI bindings. I feel it's perfect for smaller projects where separation of logic isn't as important. Angular has the ability to grow in complexity if you need it too.
Backbone comes with a lot of boilerplate, but honestly is worth it if you have a larger front end app. Being able to have your data trickle though your models and views in a concise structured way can make changes as well as fixes much easier in the long run. Backbone's persistence functionality is pretty phenomenal as well.
Ember relies pretty heavily on Handlebars. If you're game to use that for your client side rendering than it could be a good option. Ember looks similar to Backbone but makes a few things easier such as computed properties and bidirectional bindings. I haven't touched it much yet as I'm currently working in Backbone and Ember's current lack of an "official" persistence mechanism turned me off a bit.
All three of these are great frameworks. Angular is easier to pick up but Backbone has more users and more users means someone has probably ran into a problem that you possibly will and has already asked a question on StackOverflow. That alone can be invaluable.
