Guys,

Wanted to get your thoughts on which VM software would be a better fit for me: 

 

VM Ware Workstation Pro 12.1
Oracle Virtual Box 5.0.16

First off, price is not an issue with this.

 

The main point is to run MS Window Server 2012/2016 and MS SQL Server.  I may want to experiment with technologies like Always On which I would assuem would require the two system to be on the same subnet, well maybe not required (I know I will need to step up Active Directory for this).  However this is not critical and is more of a bonus.
The secondary is to run Linux distributions to play around with and get used Linux (mainly been a Windows person and want to start branching out).

I will also want to run Hortonworks (has VM Images for both VirtualBox and VWMware)

 

I will not do any sort of gaming on the VMs these are mainly for learning and development purposes.

Tools I am using for development is Visual Studio 2015, and is mainly for SSIS so T-SQL, C#, and extending into SSRS/SSAS

 

Thanks for the input, and again price is not an issue with this.
