I don't even know what the core concepts are. I'm still unclear by what a snapback or a flatpak are, but apperently there's drama if you pick one over the other depending on who you ask.
But I know they install programs...but I wouldn't say I know what they are.
Snap is Ubuntu proprietary. Flatpak is community. That should be all you need to know to pick one over the other.
Personally I prefer standard distro packages. If I want a container, I use a container.
