Just some info:
I think that the deciding factor of which way to go depends on how much money you are willing to spend and the amount of time that you want to invest in setting this system up and maintaining it. I personally have some of all three of the previously mentioned vitalization technologies running on our network (Solaris Zones, Parallels, XEN, and VMWare), and each take different amount of these resources to setup and maintain.
Solaris Zones are probably one of the coolest solutions. It allows you to allocate system resources across zones without having to reinstall anything or duplicate configs. Setting up zones is not the hardest thing to do, but one of the most robust; if you are one of the types of people that has to know every angle of something before using it, this is probably not the way to go.
I second Solaris zones are very rubust. Easy to setup and maintain.
