I can say that from my experience, having run LMS on Linux, Windows 7 and OS X, my preferred OS is hands down a "server" edition of Linux. I.e., Linux running with no GUI. For me this has meant using either a Ubuntu server edition or Fedora set up to boot to run level 3 at startup. Other folks can speak to the VM aspect.
