My advice, would be:

Use an efficient hypervisor to host the VMs, whichever you choose,

Ensure each VM has ample resources,

Evaluate carefully using virtualized NICs for inter-VM networking  
versus bonding to actual NICs and switch ports (I'm not pushing one  
over the other, I'm suggesting they are not equal, and make sure you  
test both),

Use package management to install server software, and let it manage  
dependancies - JeOS is a reduced version of Server Ubuntu, and the  
package manager will ensure all required software is installed for  
your server.
