Oh jeepers.  GLMMs are a bit of a nightmare for lots of reasons. I think
that this book covers them:
http://www.amazon.com/Generalized-Linear-Mixed-Models-Applications/dp/1439815127/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404905964&sr=8-1&keywords=generalized+linear+mixed+models

But generally, the issues are the same as for linear mixed models. And
there, my rule of thumb is to use unstructured, unless it won't converge,
and then I use variance components.  Maybe use autoregressive (or that one
that's a bit like autoregressive, but more extreme in the rate of descent,
and I've forgotten its name) if I'm desperate.
