Using Backbone or similar framework with Silverstripe

I am replicating an existing application in Silverstripe (PHP framework). The application has a lot of jQuery already and while its organised well at the moment it could get out of control as I grow it past its current point.

Having spent most of my development experience in PHP/MySQL, I have little experience in js front-end frameworks and would not likely use a framework to manage data manipulation with the server from the get go. Really I'm just looking for a suitable solution to organise and manage the js in the short term and something I can eventually evolve (with more experience under my belt) to a point I can manage all frontend logic with.

Is backbone the way to go? Any other advice?

I've been using SilverStripe framework with EmberJS and EmberData with great success. Ember connects to SilverStripe with a RESTful API module

But you can very well use any JS framework and mkae your own SS controller of find other SS modules to help http://addons.silverstripe.org/
