Just to clarify, currently the only OpenVZ kernel branches marked as stable are:
RHEL4-2.6.8
RHEL5-2.6.18
The current OpenVZ devel kernels branches are:
RHEL6-2.6.32
2.6.32
2.6.27
2.6.27 is a long-term supported kernel by mainline I believe.
All of that is documented on the OpenVZ wiki here:
http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel

It is my understanding that Parallels has actually hired a kernel developer in the states to work on LXC in the mainline. I haven't seen too much info on that yet... but yeah, the long-term future of containers in Linux is LXC. I don't really recommend LXC now unless you don't mind the bleeding-edge with bumps in the road.
TYL,
