I used a pod for my last move and will use it again if I ever move again. My two favorite things were no lifting, you just walk onto the pod and being able to have it ahead of time so you can load the pod as you pack. Also with the pods, you can have them store it for as long as you need. So if you had a lot of things you don't need during the time you are renting, pods would store it and deliver it to your new home when you are ready for it. The only disadvantage I see is if you have a lot of stuff to move in which case it might be cheaper to use a mover or of course you could just rent two pods. They were very professional.
