I vote for livecd-creator from livecd-tools, it is the easiest to use
(and in particular, livecd-creator accepts kickstarts from livemedia-creator
with little to no changes, whereas the opposite requires many more changes),
the easiest to do local testing with (because it supports caching
packages without complicated workarounds), and probably also the easiest to
integrate into the Copr setup (because it has less stringent setup
requirements).

other readers should know the rationale. :-) )

I am not sure about that one. I would at least like it to be optional
if implemented (because I would probably not enable it for most of my
Coprs), and I am concerned about the resource usage.

Most likely they'll just fail to build instead of silently failing
to install. ;-) (And then they'll still fail to install because there was
no successful rebuild.)
Sure, there are cases where a straight rebuild (for a new dependency
soname) will help, but judging from my experience with Rawhide FTBFSes,
often, a rebuild with no changes won't even succeed where no soname was
bumped (and soname bumps typically indicate some API change that makes it
more likely that the rebuild will fail).
