If you're using vagrant to manage the VM and either use widely-supported or self built base boxes, each developer can use whichever works best on their platform.
So you might have a windows dev using hyperv, another usimg vmware workstation, a mac user with parallels, a linux user with lxc and another with kvm.
VMWare player? Besides it not being OSS, I didn't notice any performance benefit.
The bottleneck (for my web development needs), is around the spottiness of shared folders and JS tooling that needs to keep a watch for file changes.
