I have no experience with Gluster, Ceph has been great for our use.

Better on separated systems, but works quite well on the same systems if 
the load is ok. Proxmox Ceph Server integration is very nice and saves 
lots of work.

In order to use Ceph for backups and ISO/templates, you'll have to use 
CephFS. It is considered experimental in current Ceph version in Proxmox 
(Hammer) but today a new Ceph LTS version has been released (Jewel), 
that marks CephFS stable and production-ready. I think this will be 
integrated in Proxmox shortly, developers are talking about this in the 
mailing list today.

I use NFS for backups and ISO/templates. For our storage needs this is 
enough.

Cheers
Eneko
