If one would only be using SIP/IAX would Xen/KVM be the best solution ? / or perhaps VServer/LXC maybe advantageous due to binary hashing. Your thoughts would be very welcome. 

VServer / OpenVZ / LXC run the the instances on top of the same kernel.
They use kernel-level seperation. So this means that they basically see
the subsets of the same file system and such.

KVM / Xen provide the view of a different machine. The guest machine run
its own kernel. I guess this is better if you don't trust the guest, but
you pay more in resource consumption. If you want to run a different
kernel, you must use this one.
