The Russian Sputnik V vaccine [1] distinguishes itself from other two-dose Adenovirus vector vaccines [2] (Oxford–AstraZeneca and Chinese CanSino) by using different vectors (Ad26 and Ad5) for each dose. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine [3] is an Ad26 single-vector single-dose vaccine.
In my opinion, the outstanding question is production capacity. Given the supply chains and geopolitics involved, I think the rational choice is to get whatever approved vaccine is available to you as soon as possible.
