I would use xen.  Be sure to allocate enough resources to the asterisk domU.

(In this case, the fact that the bare iron is partitioned by xen is no
different, from the point of view of asterisk's performance, than
running it on an unpartioned box along with other services.  The more
one squeezes onto a given box the more everything suffers.  But
partitioning the hardware with something like xen does not automatically
break stuff.  Were the box doing ISDN, on the other hand, routing the
pci card to the right partition can be an issue.  But for 100% sip it
should just work.)
