Everything is relative and depends on the task at hand. Without understanding the end goal, your question is meaningless.

If you don't understand anything about virtualization, then vmware. If you want to humiliate everyone, then xen.

Choose XEN if you are planning to build a terminal or VDI farm on Citrix products, in this case this hypervisor will get almost for free with centralized management tools.
When virtualizing a fleet of only Win servers, you can choose Hyper-v, but you will have to pay for centralized management.
If you have a large heterogeneous OS (win, lin, nix) infrastructure with enterprise storage, then the most technically advanced solution from VMware for which you will have to pay significantly. But get such interesting technologies as DRS, sDRS, FT, HA, VAAI, Flash Read Cache, Storage I / O Control, memory shared, Distributed Switch and others.
By the way, for small businesses, ESXi (now version 6) of the free edition is quite suitable, which supports 2 physical processors without memory limits.
