Based on my latest experience, KVM for simplicity, Xen for performance.

I guess there are different platform usage and needs.

Something lik virtualbox is very easy for desktop usage (to make tests or development)... but I don't see it for a production server usage

I agree with lefred. I use VirtualBox for virtualization on my desktop, because the feature set is amazing...but you can't even resize virtual disk sizes after creation.

And I use VMware ESXi on my production machines.
