zVM is definitively the way to go, our experience in zVM was none and still we were able to install/configure zVM without major problems. If your are still going to use CentOS instead of RedHat or SUSE you may want to take a look at the following RedBook, it's oriented to RedHat so it should also apply to CentOS. The first chapters talk about zVM installation: http://linuxvm.org/Present/misc/virt-cookbook-RH5.pdf.
