As you know we're using Google Test/Mock for a bunch of support modules
and we love it for it's readable Hamcrest-style matchers and the clear
error messages it emits. The fact that it has to be compiled along with
the project makes it a little harder to integrate into the build system,
though. IIRC Google Test also requires a C++11 compatible compiler.

For which components do you intend to use it and how do you picture
building/using it?
