I'd prefer an ellipsis over scrolling text. Scrolling text is hard to read, can't be controlled by the user (e.g. paused or moved back a bit), and attracts attention (in this case, more than the label deserves--it's not an active menu item). Another alternative is line wrapping. The issue I see with that is knowing how wide to make the menu and where best to wrap.
