Depends on the goal. For systems admin on Ubuntu servers, snaps work well. They have a lot of functionality that flatpak lacks sorely. AppImages are good for seldom used software that is not on the repository. Flatpaks are…functional, I guess. They are boring but inconsistent, at least flatseal helps to mitigate their flaws a little bit. And they are the most end user friendly of the bunch. In general containerized applications on Linux suck ass. All of them. Also, I hate using the flatpak utility, the reverse domain naming is retarded and brings nothing of value.
Edit: I’ve also noticed that on old hardware flatpaks are horrendously laggy. That might just be my experience but I’ve not been happy using flatpaks.
