Pick BuildKit if…
BuildKit suits developers and teams who need configurable, cache-aware builds and multiple artifact formats. It also fits users who want rootless execution or integration with Docker and other listed projects.
Pick Enroot if…
It suits Linux users in high-performance or virtualized environments who need portable, reproducible container sandboxes. Its limited isolation makes it unsuitable where stronger isolation is required.
