I had a very similar requirement some time ago, and I solved it using a CLR SP to push the data into a message queue.

To ease deployment, I created an CLR SP with a tiny little function called SendMessage that was just pushing a message into a Message Queue, and tied it to my tables using an AFTER INSERT trigger (normal trigger, not CLR trigger).

Performance was my main concern in this case, but I have stress tested it and it greatly exceeded my expectations. And compared to SQL Server Service Broker, it's a very easy-to-deploy solution. The code in the CLR SP is really trivial as well.
