Bastille is a container (jails) manager with 0 dependencies since it is written in Bourne Shell. It makes use of the best functionalities and technologies that FreeBSD offers us, thus facilitating the management, creation, destruction, and updating of jails throughout their life cycle.
iocage is a jail/container manager amalgamating some of the best features and technologies the FreeBSD operating system has to offer. It is geared for ease of use with a simple and easy to understand command syntax.

This is nice, the maintainer looks busy, I am not a coder but from the commits I saw he updated the old parts, the doc, python3.6 to 3.9 to 3.11, fixed bugs, it's a good news.
I've never been a big user of iocage, mainly because it was already in dormant state when I came to FreeBSD but I do appreciate that a such popular tool is not throw away.
Minimal, flexible, and easy-to-expand FreeBSD jail manager. - illuria/jailer

kjail and mkjail focus more on reliability upon updates & upgrades (kjail is based on Thin jail while mkjail is based on Thick jail).
Both aren't fully complete jail manager the user has a bit of work to do, mostly networking part.
jailer is more complete as a jail manager but focus only on VNET jail.
All three require ZFS.
I think you ready to play with jails now, have fun

Honestly the Handbook is really helpful, I don't know if you already read it since it has been rewritten but it might worth the look.
