my 2c here... 

KVM in my experience isn't quite ready for prime time - I've had issues with block I/O performance, network speeds and configuration, plus getting the CD/DVD drive to change while the guest is on have all contributed to my putting it in the 'great when it gets there' basket - the libvirt support wasn't quite ready when I tried it last (FC9, 2.6.25) - anyone tried a more recent version? 

The RHEL support isn't there just yet, but is slated for RHEL6 from what I hear.
