I am at a crossroads with this as well. It is not clear to me yet whether I should upgrade to OpenVZ v7 or LXC + KVM.

I think OpenVZ made a mistake to use their own operating system with VZ7. LXC can use CentOS or Debian or Ubuntu etc. So that is most likely going to make that a more widely adopted platform. However, I think both are unstable right now so there is still no clear winner. It looks like LXC is more of an open source project and will have more tools like for backup. OpenVZ is still mostly just Parallels corporation and is trying to encourage commercial adoption by limiting the tools that OpenVZ gets.

Parallels have very good kernel engineers. So I can't count them out. I will need to make a decision soon because OVZ 6 is approaching end of life.
