rq is like a luger pistol, light, simple, gets the job done.
celery is like a .50 caliber machine gun, industrial strength, lots of options, used for a variety of completely different use cases.
For simple stuff, use rq, but celery + rabbitmq work better if you have dozens and dozens plus worker nodes (ie: different servers), whereas with rq, you use redis, which could potentially be a SPOF, even with redis sentinel.
