I definitely think if your new to Xen and are use to doing normal CD installs, then virt-install is the easiest way to go.
Also, you could consider using prebuilt images that are already made depending on your needs. These can be found on stacklet.com.

command available.
This is general belief. I suggest doing some tests. After that you may think

different. ;-) Also, there have been various problems with tap:aio devices in the
various Xen incarnations over time that weren't present in file.
You want to use LVM or remote storage for real world usage, anyway, but that
wasn't the task outlined by the OP.
