It depends on what you want to do. On my main machine I use both. In VMware Player you can only use one machine at a given time, in Virtualbox you can use as many VMs simultaneous as your physical machine can handle. But VMware Player has much better 3D acceleration, I use that for playing older or low resource Windows games (that won't run well with Wine) on a virtual XP machine.

VirtualBox and VMWare Player do have the same objectives, no?
both virtualization software
i rather use VB to instead of VMWare, but i don't see why the one is better than the other :p
I said "VirtualBox" becasue that's what the OP said he is going to use.

Also, I would choose VirtualBox over VMWare becasue it's partially open-source and is free to download.
