What kind of separation do you really need?

Xen, VMWare and such are "big cannons" here. Every virtual machine will 
consume fixed ammount of memory. There is a considerable overhead for 
hardware access.

It allows you things like running different OS/distribution on each 
guest. But for some reason I'm not sure you really need that?

Will the users have direct acces to the dialplan and the rest of the
configuration? If not: just run a single instance of Asterisk.

If you do need multiple asterisk instances, verver or openvz might
help you to give a separate "container" for that user's personal usage.
Stephan has mentioned in this thread he set up several Asterisk-es on a 
vserver system.
