If by chroot you mean also nspawn, then it is mostly equivalent to docker and
lxc. The only thing bad about systemd-nspawn is its lack of easy config through
files (it only supports cmdline switches which is ridiculously cumbersome).
Also, docker is more complex than a plain lxc-tools approach.
So, I would go with lxc as the simplest and most flexible solution. In fact,
that's how I build my packages.

Where do you take this from? Rootless containers require a specific host kernel
configuration (which -ARCH kernels don't have).
