Do you use target containers? Yes (and no). As with anything this is going to come down to your requriements and the nature of the site you are trying to render. When doing a microsite (a site with few pages, say 10-20) and limited navigation then I would definately go for target containers rather than Nav Mgr.
Listen up here people: DON'T USE NAV MANAGER IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO* *unless you're in v10, in which case DO cause it's hard-wired into the author experience Why not? Cause it adds a whole layer of per-page processing and will wreck your performance both for publish and in SmartEdit. And when you're not using NavMgr target containers are actually very useful. The publication engine is optimised around their use so it works properly when you use them properly. When dealing with anything other than a microsite, which almost always have proper navigation requirements, you are bound to Nav Manager for ease of use and managability and that means target containers are out. Remeber that Nav Mgr processing is expensive in terms of computation required for publication and SmartEdit so use it sparingly, limit your render spots, and don't use NavMgr where pre-execute will do (definately try not to mix them otherwise each page is going to get processed 3 times! add RDExecute and its 4 passes per page!!) My 2c for what its worth... HTH.
