Here's a relevant and recent Slashdot post on virtualization (quoted
below):
http://slashdot.org/articles/07/03/29/1219218.shtml
And the link to the referenced report:

"This just-released research report, Load Testing a Virtual Web
Application, looks at the effects of virtualization on a typical ASP
Web application, using VMWare on Linux to host a Windows OS and IIS web
server. While virtualizing the server made it easier to manage, the
number of users the virtualized Web app could handle dropped by 43%.
The article also shows interesting graphs of how hyper-threading
affected the performance of IIS." The report urges readers to take this
research as a data point.
No optimization was done on host or guest OS parameters.

i would go with VMware if my career depended on it.
i've never heard of this virtualbox and it's not developed by EMC
(which VMware is..)
i'm pretty sure the enterprise vendors won't or haven't certified
their products with virtualbox, but a lot of enterprise software HAS
been certified with VMware.
