I recently passed the RHCSA exam, which as of last October added a containers/podman section to the test. I usually work with lxcs under libvirt and directly, so working with podman was new to me. The test requirements are very simplistic, but I went further and spent a decent amount of time finding annoyances and issues.
I am not impressed with podman. It's buggy and slow. Documentation is very basic and the underlaying mechanics are not covered where needed. Want to reconfigure the command parameters your start your container with to add a exported variable? Gotta remake the entire setup because there's no edit command.
I really enjoy working with LXC. And the fact that I can switch now between container mode or VM mode makes it even better. That and best ng able to do lxc in lxc easily to test an infrastructure locally.
