Theo's opinion notwithstanding, what's the best virtualization platform to run OpenBSD?

There's a project to improve AWS/Xen support, http://www.joelroberts.org/openbsd/

Works fine in VMware ESX and HyperV. Need to run NTP though to combat clock drift. Not tried it on Xen but it has drivers for virtual NICs and storage etc.

If you watch the the ruBSD 2013 interview video with Theo de Raadt[1] at the 6:36, he states that they should take a shot at dealing with modern x86 VMs. That gives me quite a bit of hope along with the work on vmware related drivers in each release.

I use VMware at work, seems to do ok.
