I think CoreOS provides a good single node OS for executing containers and Fleet provides very simple scheduling and placement and etcd provides discovery primitives.
I think Mesos besides being ore proven to scale and handle failure scenarios, it also provides more primitives for users to write Mesos frameworks that can provide more information and events for applications to be smarter about how it wants to react to these. Mesos also provides more isolation choices, more statistics available, and also provides a community and existing frameworks that all users can leverage already.
