Since such discussions are generally likely to be 
highly opinion based, it would help if you gave
technical reasons for your opinions.  

Both of your preferred solutions will have much 
higher performance overheads than any container 
like solution (OpenVz, Vserver, lxc...).  I see 
no glaring reason why any of those container 
solutions could not be used. I use a Vserver,
on a very low BW link,
