In my research, I've found btrbk and btrfs-sxbackup certainly to be the leading contenders in terms of feature completeness. sanoid [1] will be another interesting possibility once btrfs compatibility is added (currently zfs only).
I just wish I'd discovered all these before I went to all the effort of creating snazzer [1] :) I've been meaning to split some stuff out of snazzer that might be generically useful to other folks, such as filesystem cloning of all subvols/snapshots via send/receive, and it seems as if it should be possible to automatically prune any idiosyncratic snapshot naming convention - I just haven't found the time to write unit tests.
