Yes, I've used xen and vmware and both have served me equally well. Use vmware if you want the commercial support in a heavily loaded data center. Use xen if you can handle the support yourself or can depend on the community. In performance both are compareable and currently, IMO, vmware has a lead in providing better management features with the VI3 line. If you're looking to install a virtualisation software on top of a linux distro, then your choice is between vmware workstation or a xen patched kernel. There are other virtualisation solutions also including kvm, lguest all of which should serve you well for the usual test cases. In the end your choice would depend on your use case and requirements.
