If you want something robust I'd recommend something like http-kit or Netty on the backend + using websockets (and a shim) directly on the frontend, or possibly browserchannel if you need to worry about firewalls and ancient browsers.
Socket.IO is a moving target intended for a single audience (not multiplatform). It's not going to win you more than you'll pay in bugs and performance issues in the long run.
