I think KVM is better in most cases.
KVM + Docker

If you own the server, LXC/LXD because there's no hypervisor so less overhead. If you don't own the server and pay for a vps, it doesn't matter because you're crammed with 50 other people. Business dictates that idle/free resources should be used up to maximize revenue.
As a consumer I prefer KVM but for most of my purposes anything works so long as the system is reliable

For self-made VPS? KVM of course.
because of qemu, many people does not even know how crazy this shit are and how many problems it can solve if used correctly (and pretty easy tbh)
I picked LXC on my in-house server.
Each container can scale to the full CPU and RAM and disk available on the host machine, without dividing resource a priori.
I have KVM on the same server, but only if I need to test with a different kernel or non-Linux system.
Same here. LXC works great if you have a personal machine you wish to split into multiple systems. Since its personal you dont need to worry about the possibility of every container using all its allocated hardware since you can just not do that. If you need to limit the resources (For example if giving a friend access to a container or you expect a containers usage to spike unexpectedly and dont want the rest of the server to suffer) then you can do so easily and without a restart.
You can even use LXC without virtualisation present, so you can split a VPS into multiple containers that can be used as if they were separate OSes.
KVM has its place, but I only use it when necessary rather than as the default.
On personal server I use XCP-NG, xenserver derivative.
I prefer it for better hardware emulation, isolation and relatively easy PCIe Passthroughs.
