Agreed. Try them out and then determine what you like. My preference is 
VirtualBox for personal use, VMware Workstation for work use, and then 
all our enterprise work stuff runs on either VMware ESX for business 
critical installs, and ESXi for non-critical installs.

There is a work around for USB support on Linux for VirtualBox, where 
VMware works a bit better with USB.

They all have their strengths and weaknesses.
