[Ubuntu Chicago] Best virtualization software for Ubuntu?

So there's Xen, VMWare, Virtualbox, Quemu?, others...  What would you
recommend that a k/x/ubuntu user use to run VM's to test different instances
of Linux?  I want to be able to do test installations of OS's, and to also
have a stock version of OS's handy for documentation work.

While I know it's best to install on live hardware for bug reporting (and
I'll do so for ISO testing), some of my other efforts would be made easier
if I could fire up a VM instead of rebooting.

As a note, I'm running the stock feisty kernel, 2.6.20-15, which I think has
kernel-level paravirt-ops vm support (no real idea what that means), and my
processor and bios support intel's VT stuff . . .

Thanks, all,

Jim
