I'm not sure that's correct. (That it's the easiest). Recently, the talk
about going for an RHSCA made me look into KVM for the first time in
awhile. I had to google a bit to
get it working--not horribly difficult (would have been easier save for
typing Bridge instead of BRIDGE in a config file, looking at it at least 10
times and not figuring out the error, but..). I think VBox is more
intuitive to the newcomer, though if the OP is wondering about this for one
of the tests, then KVM is definitely the way to go.

I'm going to mention another link that I found useful
http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/KVM_Virtualization_in_RHEL_6_made_easy.pdf
Not for using it with a kickstart, but as a quick KVM setup. Afterwards,
the link you gave has, in 15.1 and so on help with working with with
kickstart (or at least PXE, even if they don't go into detail about
kickstart)
