I don't think I'd Xen 2 on a server?  Xen 3 is better supported in that it 
receives regular bugfixing with each release.  There are known problems with 
Xen 2 which don't look like being fixed, I'm afraid.

OTOH, Xen 2 systems have been known to make extremely long uptimes, just that 
it's not necessarily any more stable than Xen 3 because it doesn't receive 
fixes.
