Depend on your hardware.

Currently, Fedora/RedHat uses Xen.
Fedora may switch in KVM in F7.

It greatly depends on what you need.
E.g. if you want to stage new Linux versions and/or Linux kernels, you
require VMWare/QEmu (if you don't have VT/SVN-enabled hardware) or
VMWare/Xen/KVM (if you have VT/SVN-enabled hardware)
If you just to create "jails" for certain applications, OpenVZ/VServer
are much better suited.
