Both are designed with different goals. Please see thread [1]. MessageBus
acts as generic transport abstraction to build IPC between the components.
Event bus has specific use case of enabling CloudStack components or
external system to publish-subscribe CloudStack events.

I guess which one to use depends on the use case. If some functionality
can be achieved just by consuming action/usage/sate change/alert events
generated then event bus should be good enough.
