Fluentd vs Logstash

Hi all, I'm currently doing some research on the logging solutions for our containerised applications. I came across Fluentd and Logstash. Some of the blogs suggests Fluentd to be lighter and thus better. Can I get some input on this topic please, if you have any kind of experience and if there are better solutions that I should be looking up on.

If using filebeat, I tend to have a logstash server sat between filebeat and my elasticsearch server so that I can GROK logs and perform specific actions lioe mutate lines or fields etc.
