Rather than configuring a dual-boot machine for running those occasional

the easiest to install and configure? I had problems with VMWare on F7,
and would prefer not to go that route again. I have no experience with
the other two.

I would vote KVM as well. Support for native disks and USB devices is
trivial. However, the selling points for me of all of them are these:
1. Xen == Novel/Microsoft (yes, MS bought rights to Xen, and development
stopped/slowed to nothing)
2. VMWare == Windows host focus. Linux support is sub par and building
their kernel modules may always be an issue.
3. KVM is in the mainline kernel and gets a lot of (good and bad) attention.
4. Virtualbox == some really old code from SUN. It requires its own
device driver and can conflict with KVM.
5. I am a command line/scripting person, and starting a series of VMs
based upon KVM is easily made to be automatic.
I have no problem typing:
$ sudo qemu-kvm -hda /dev/sdb1 -net nic -net user -m 1024 -soundhw all
Good Luck!
