Appimage is OK but no auto update makes it download and forget type of deal - definitely not for every app
Flatpak - best for me but permissions on some apps make it unusable e.g. gpodder - command for player as flatpak is unable to access MPV installed from repo flatpak etc. - sandboxing (couldn't fix it with flatseal mpv --profile=... not working)
snaps people love to hate them... no love from me :-)
Repo if it works, is available - the best option
