I've heard very good things about OpenVZ from someone using dozens of 
VMs on a farm of servers, including some very high traffic sites:

The main advantage of OpenVZ over VMWare and many others is performance 
since it makes better use of system resources. Unfortunately I don't 
know much more than that about it and never had time to look at it.
