I've used VMWare, in the past, and I currently use Virtual Iron, because it has fairly simple administration and is far cheaper than VMWare, if you want the bells and whistles. The big reasons to use VMWare or Virtual Iron (in my opinion) is the nice gui administration tools and their ability to run virtualized Windows guests very well, which has not worked well for me, with Xen based virtualization under Red Hat or SuSE.
