Having never heard of it and only used the Aurora Store (recently without any issues), what does App Lounge have going for it?
Its the default of /e/os and only meant to be used with it. Its based on the Aurora library that allows access to google play apps and combines it with their own mirror of the main F-droid repo
I haven't heard of it either. Looks like it maybe has additional features built on top of Aurora Store. At first glance, App Lounge seems very unintuitive to install. I think I'll stick with Aurora Store for now.

This is default store on /e/os
I can't even find a repo to install it...
Isn't the aurora store not updated anymore? Or is that just their fdroid store alternative?
For FOSS programs I use Neostore which is quite good.
The Aurora Store is still updated, they just had a rewrite of their UI a few weeks ago. Their F-droid client had stopped getting updates in 2021 but recently work has resumed with a new 2.0 version, so both are currently supported actively
idk, its just aurora + f-droid imo. its just the default for /e/os phones
