FWIW, I've been running Xen as my reactualizations layer for a while and have been happy with it. I experimented with VirtualBox and VMWare (and qemu, but it's not what I'd really consider a serious virtualization contender). I know KVM is popular with the Linux kernel crowd, but it didn't seem as mature, and to me it seemed more like a "desktop" virtualization solution than a run-lots-of-VMs-on-a-headless-server solution. I could be wrong though. Xen is mature and stable, and is used by Amazon's EC computing cloud to run tens of thousands of virtual machines, so I figured that was a good endorsement. Xen can be faster than other VM solutions if you run an OS that can be made Xen-aware (like Linux) and cooperative. If you choose to pursue Xen, I can offer a few tips.
