I would use Ubuntu as the Host system. But that is me, I want Gnu/Linux to be my 
primary operating system. I use Gnu/Linux for almost all of my computing. The 
only reason to boot Windows is to take care of those few tasks that I can not do 
with Gnu/Linux.

You might choose to use Vista as the Host operating system if you use Windows as 
your main operating system and want to keep it that way.
