Apple devices and Apple Apps are best friends with each other and work great with other iDevices but are kind of anti-social and don't play with the other kids very well. Your AppleTV, iCloud, iMessage etc aren't going to play well with your Nexus 5, it will obviously work flawlessly with the newest iPhone.
It works great for some people, we've see numerous posts on the Tech forum from people just going with the next iPhone because "It's an iPhone", it cuts the decision making process out for some, which works for them. I'm a long time Macbook user but when I found myself with an iPad and iPhone for a while I had to get out as being locked into that ecosystem just doesn't do it for me.
I'm sure someone more techy could desribe it better, moving off topic again. So yeah, if sticking with iMessage is important, stick with the iPhone. I got over BBM when I gave up my Blackberry way back when though.
