In my case the preference would be VMware Fusionm because of its support of directX and 3D. It also looks like the most advanced version of the two (fusion and parallel).
The article seems to imply that Parallels has better speed overall. But as VM and Parallels are comparable in price I'm happy with either. What does everyone else think?
I'm not in a position to compare the two, but I've been using Parallels pretty much since I bought my MacBook last year. Currently got two virtual machines set up, will probably add another before too long. Since installing it and getting everything set up, I've had two minor complaints: 1. upgrading Parallels itself occasionally breaks, requiring a (host) reboot before everything works again 2. very occasionally, switching from full-screen to window or coherance mode will cause the contents of one monitor to be spanned across both, although this seems to have been fixed in the latest version.
I may try VMWare at some point, but aside from "for the fun of it", I'm not entirely sure there's much point—Parallels works well enough for what I need.
