Xen, It is used by some of the biggest clouds in the world and it has a lot of new development happening as well.

+1
Especially since XenServer is Open Source, allowing fast deployments with a nice api (XAPI). For an example of possibilities, go check Xen Orchestra project :) |
Xen (yes, I'm joining the party :) ). Paravirtualization works great and with PVH coming out shortly, one gets the best of both worlds by using hardware virtualization where it's most effective.
Also, Mirage OS is a cool new use of Xen and is one of the first things I've seen that really does deserve the use of a term like "cloud-based" to describe it as it's not just throwing another OS in a VM just to run one or two applications. Since Xen powers the big public clouds (eg. AWS) you can use it there right now. |
Virtualbox (due to the simple installation and VM management)

Meeting VBox was one the best things that happened to my virtual life!

I work with Xen and Xenserver open source. In my case the best solution after probe many others virtualization system.

VirtualBox

It's tough to say:
I only use VirtualBox and it does what I want (allowing me to play with other distros and OSs quickly and easily. However, it does use a noticeable amount of processing power to do so. In my experience on my system VMWare seemed to be worse, but I understand this is not usually the case. I should use KVM and the rest but for me as a home hobby user they're too much like hard work to get up and running. Now I know about LXC I'll have a look at that though as if it's along the lines I get the impression it is it could be great for running two Linux distros at the same time at native speed which could be ideal for a few things I'd like to do. Can I vote for them all?! |
At work I use VMWare ESXi and works great emulating Windows, CentOS, Ubuntu Server, ... As a Desktop app I use VMware Fusion (for Mac) and Parallels Desktop (also for mac) and all two work great, perhaps VMWare needs less CPU and GPU.
I vote VMWare. |

I like virtual box because it has usb support pre made options for os' and just plain works

Qemu hands down. Virtualbox has issues on pure x86_64
|
I like QEMU with KVM.
