Did you ever try Xen enough to compare the two?

My worries about KVM are it seems to have a lot less isolation ability
which a lot of people says increases reliability in Xen.

In the end I want to learn both, but I need to pick one for production too.

All of this stuff is very interesting, and a lot better than last time I
played with it, so I'm sure either will do fine.
