Hi, Personally, I'd recommend VMware Workstation. Always been good for
me, however lately I have been trying out Virtualbox (PUEL) :-). They
have an Open Source Edition also (Virtualbox), only it lacks USB
Support. If you go on there website, you can see the 3 missing features.

Tried KVM, but it didn't like my box not having AMD-V.

I think the best way to determine what's best for you, would be to try
them all, and see which you prefer :-)
