Either virtualbox or VMware as you say, there is no single best any software in any OS. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. I suggest you use virtualbox as it is easy to configure.

Xen should provide better performances, but it's more business oriented and harder to configure and manage. Instead of a complete emulation of hardware, it can be linked under Linux kernel, which is "conscious" of running above Xen. Xen is less user friendly than VirtualBox or VMware (and I can't provide support on Xen).
