Has anyone used OpenVZ along with either ProxMox or the free openvz webpanel, as I have?

With all the noise about LXC based solutions I wonder if some wouldn't be just as happy with OpenVZ.

openvz doesn't seem to be known outside of hosting/hosters community, otherwise - it's quite a mature container engine

The ancestor of Docker at dotCloud ran on openvz. We moved to lxc in 2010 when it became usable.

I think of them as mostly interchangeable except for the shared hosting use case where openvz has a head start (more time for more eyeballs to audit and fix it).

Now the whole "openvz vs. lxc" distinction is pretty moot - linux has namespaces and cgroups. Everything else is a matter of choice of userland libraries and cli tools.
