1. If you're going to use VMware, forget about the server edition. It's a
utter POS performance wise. ESX/ESXi is very performant and is the only good
option for enterprises stacks.

2. If you need only to virtualize Linux, then you can't get better
performance than with OpenVZ. I manage thousands of VEs on it daily and it's
a really good product. It's future is uncertain though, as there's not been
any commits on it for months now.

3. Xen, well, I was never fond of it, so I can't really tell.
