When using a para-virtualized guest, which network type should be used?

Are you asking whether NAT vs. bridged is better? If so, it doesn't matter. The guest is virtualized, remember? It doesn't know or care about what's underneath. What matters is your physical host's network.
Ok thanks.

That might be true for desktop virtualization but when virtualizing a server you probably want to go for the bridge to have your system reachable from the outside and make it a proper member of your network infrastructure.

I am using the bridge.
