It depends.

Both virbr0 (libvirt) and lxcbr0 uses NAT masquarade, so by default
you won't be able to access the VM from outside the host. You CAN do
so though, by manually setting up a static NAT. IMHO this is too much
hassle, better just use bridge. Bridge setup works fine even when you
don't actually use it, so it shouldn't be a problem.

As always, choose whatever solution suits you best.
