One of the things that LXC's use is the server's own kernel.

Do you need a different kernel for your workload than what is in the host? VM
Do you need live migration? VM
Do you need every ounce of performance and you are willing to sacrifice some security? CT
Do you need a non-Linux OS such as Windows, FreeBSD or Hackintosh? VM

A LXC container pretty much behaves as a TTY-only Linux VM. The difference is that a LXC will share its kernel with the Proxmox
host and as such, any hardware-level vulnerability in the host will expose the LXC CT and vice-versa.
