I also vote for ANTLR.
IMO we should have a Java-based parser (not only, necessarily) and keep the dependencies small due to the use cases we have (and could have). A current issue is for instance the AsciidoctorJ dependency on JRuby (which may cause trouble on classloading, e.g. on WildFly). So a "native"-Java solution would be the best IMO.
