I chose "OpenSolaris" when in a similar situation and it works great for me.

Probably.  As an aside, from my experience, the "operating system" you 
choose when using VirtualBox 1.6.2 sometimes does not even seem to 
matter.  I created a virtual machine and chose "Ubuntu" as the operating 
system and was still able to run OpenSolaris 2008.05 in that virtual 
machine with no problems.  :-)
