My preference for flatpaks is based upon I can further lock out network access for those apps that I don't want having network access. Just gives me another layer of network access prevention using flatseal. For the paranoid side of me :)

Have a couple apps can only use appimages, using with gear lever is just great & easy

Both work great though
