I've only rode Jay Peak and Snowbird trams. My experience is gondolas are way better.
Trams are a PITA to wait for, as the capacity sucks. I'd guess they can take less than half the skiers compared to a gondola. Worst feeling is missing the tram by 1.
Not getting to sit down for a rest on a tram is a minus.
In a gondola you can have a better conversation with your cabin mates (friends or strangers).
Getting packed in like sardines sucks most of all. I'd rather look out a gondola window than the back of someone's helmet.
My $0.02 anyhow.
