I looked at vMX months ago. It was far from 'production-ready' in my opinion, although I think it's finally starting to mature a little bit. Lack of hypervisor options (no ESX at the time), crappy documentation, and a general lack of knowledge on the product it's self from Juniper made me quickly change my mind. The seems to be the general consensus with the community as well. Cisco's CSR seems to be a much more mature product at this point. I don't know anything about Brocade's offering.
For what it's worth, we went with MX104 instead.
