Warden is similar to Docker, every container gets a read-only and a read-write filesystem assigned and Warden provides an API for creating and destroying containers.
The ancestor of Docker at dotCloud ran on openvz. We moved to lxc in 2010 when it became usable.
I think of them as mostly interchangeable except for the shared hosting use case where openvz has a head start (more time for more eyeballs to audit and fix it).
Now the whole "openvz vs. lxc" distinction is pretty moot - linux has namespaces and cgroups. Everything else is a matter of choice of userland libraries and cli tools.

This project looks pretty cool, though.
With all the noise about LXC based solutions I wonder if some wouldn't be just as happy with OpenVZ.
