In a general sense, the issue you will see with Virtualization is if

it mgiht or you don't have direct control over the actual hardware,
you could run into issues down the road.
My experience with a TF2 server running on a Xen VPS (
http://www.linode.com/ ) has been that I/O was the limiting factor. I
got much choppier performance when I had replays and SourceTV demos enabled.
Also, you can dramatically reduce the memory footprint of multiple
servers running on the same box if you make smart use of symlinks or
directory junctions.
