Number of existing servers or services you have now? What you are doing now? Do you plan on having just a stand alone server with several guests? Are you looking at a fail over scenerio/cluster?
50 to 100 users is 4-10 servers depending on what your environment is like and what your company does (law firm, software development, accounting, rental, retail sales, manufacturering, construction) I don't know that virtualization will benefit you at this point. Short answer is, fewer beefy servers draw less power, but require a deeper understanding of environment complexities for the onsite engineer and posibly more support contracts.
