Have anyone used both XEN & KVM before? What are your experiences with either, in comparison to each other? We've been using XEN for about 4 years now, and only use CentOS as our server platform. I'd hate to move to Debian or OpenSuse just for XEN, and I don't know KVM at all.
one big issue that has kept me from switching from xen to kvm is that the default init scripts for kvm don't have suspend/resume for guests when the host os is rebooted. it doesn't even do a shutdown of the guests, it just kills them. also, i haven't looked into whether you can limit cpu/network usage easily with kvm as you can with xen. hopefully some of these issues are fixed in the rhel6 kvm system.
