I have used D3 with Angular on a few dashboards, and it worked very well. I have never really used Backbone, and not with D3, so I cannot compare the two. I chose Angular to complement D3 because it appeared to me that lately the D3 community has been using D3 with Angular the most of the three options you mentioned, so there were great resources available. There has recently been an entire book dedicated to using D3 and Angular together. I had also used Angular a bit before, and was aware of directives. Directives (in Angular it is a way to extend html tags) are great for meshing with D3. Each chart can become a directive, and then makes it extremely easy to reuse charts, changing only the $scope data. These are some resources I found helpful when combining the two:
