I've installed xen3 and asked myself whats better, image files or
partions?

I will prefer image files because of the flexible handling, but I've
heard that real partions are faster.

LVM's are much better and are very easy to handle as well. I also started off with images however moved to LVM. As Andy said the snapshot feature isn't stable as of now.
