LVS-DR
In many ways LVS is more efficient and transparent however there are tradeoffs as using Nginx or Haproxy gives you more finely grained control at the app and http level. LVS-DR especially is interesting as the load balancer is not a bottleneck as it would be if you are using Nginx, Haproxy or even LVS-NAT.
The use cases for having failover at the container or VM level are limited, usually you would failover hardware servers hosting VMs and containers with keepalived managing floating IPs mapped to containers or VMs on the hardware nodes.
