Hi all, jumping in this thread a little late. Xen Server rocks, used it for a year now (even got CCA'd on it), easy to use, full enterprise features, stable, expandable, all sorts, and then there is also the fact that you can run EverRun VM on top of it. Take two Xen Servers, install EverRun and the VM's you want, EverRun mirrors the VM's across the two servers = no down time or data loss due to hardware or host failure.
