Ouch, I definetely didn't mean to say that any of these technologies is useless Embarassed Sure, not.

What I meant to say is that VEs are designed to be fully isolated - in resource management, in networking (can't sniff etc.), file systems, etc. So 2 users in 2 different VEs are isolated in many regards better that on a signle machine using 2 different users with SELinux IMHO. It's my imho. Why? because SELinux doesn't try to solve DoS issues, resource management issues and so on. It solves only accessibility issues.

What VEs do not try to solve at all - protection from the other world. Sure, iptables and firewalls do it's job here.

And I fully support your statement that it would be fine if OpenVZ could support all of them. I guess SELinux must be the first one, as it is a part of mainstream kernel.
