Personally, for production work, I prefer to have a console based

nice for the 3 or 4 times every 6 months that I feel the need to use
Windows for anything.

VirtualBox actually has an excellent command line and you can run it headless really easy. Then you can either
access the VM by ssh or Remote Desktop. I do like the idea that I can create VMs by logging from a console. Some of the other VM products
out there don't allow this.
