I am definitely going to reinvestigate putting every user's data in their own container. When I last looked the options were FreeBSD Jails (not appealing) or Solaris Zones (interesting but a whole new OS); now with LXC maybe that can assist? There must be a way to harden things further...

FreeBSD's jails have had a lot of work done on them over the last couple of versions. Now that 10.0 is out, could be worth another look.
Why not Docker? (lxc)

Docker is not designed to isolate the root user from the rest of your system, and containers/capabilities are not MAC-based security. Docker strips 16 capabilities when it runs a container, leaving 23 additional capabilities to be abused by root, and whatever other vulnerabilities are left that capabilities don't cover. To prevent this you need guest isolation via virtualization.
