Think of it as hardware and look at the possible single points of failure:
LUN (if both servers are on the same SAN/LUN) Server (if the host goes down so does AD) Dual HBAs? NIC (teaming?) Redundant switches with multiple NICs? Separate power sources to the host? Personally I would recommend having at least (2) hosts, weather they be ESX or Hyper-V.
