I'm honestly not sure which strikes me as more plausible. Gas is generally harder to manipulate than solids, more likely to slip through whatever is being used to hold it. On the other hand, solids are more likely to have enough concentrated momentum to overcome whatever contains them if something sets them in motion.
When you're dealing with antimatter, basically anything short of 100% containment is Not Good Enough, unless we're talking infinitesimal quantities.
