I’m not really incredibly up on the pros and cons outside of user experience, but as a user just trying to use an app, for me flatpak has always seemed the most user friendly. I can install and update them on Pop_OS using the included app store tool, as well as install them from outside the tool. To my memory, snap always requires CLI and hasn’t felt smooth, and appimages have felt sketchy AF to me. And like someone else said, updating them isn’t smooth or automatic at all.
