Kafka by default is large distributed messaging system that supports horizontal scaling easily so it's better to be used for cases like when having a large real-time stream of data or high number of consumers. RabbitMQ by default doesn't support this high volume, it supports basic patterns of Pub/Sub or message broker system. But using Masstransit, can extend the functionality of Rabbitmq so it can support multiple topics and scale out. But for usage as per what I saw, for scalable message broker that can process high volume of data, many go by default to Kafka

The best way to think of NServiceBus and MassTransit is as middleware that sits on top of messaging infrastructure like RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, or Kafka.

For a comparison between RabbitMQ and Kafka, see this.
