I also prefer KVM over Xen, mainly I don;t have to do anything special when maintaining the env.
But I haven't notice an improvement over Xen.
I really like the fact that the guest OS has a stock kernel, etc..
I do not quite see how Xen requires one to do something special for maintenance? With pygrub you can use the stock kernel with your Xen domUs just fine. I have not seen any issues with stability either, but then again I am running mostly just web and mail servers without really high traffic.
But if KVM would offer improvements for performance over Xen, I should perhaps try it out, as sometimes when doing backups and other things that require a lot of disk I/O a better performance could be wished for...
Forgot to add there there are some cool options for increasing disk IO.
Load up KVM and check it out. I'm pretty happy with it.
