Buying Xen, vmware license just for 3-servers is not good deal. In same license money you can buy one more server :)
Now Many companies gives free virtulization called visor, hypervisor (no customer support).
VMware has free visor product and very stable for small user based application to high end application. Even microsoft, xen has similar hypervisor product wors well.
Anyway, If you have 3 servers and no storage, not much load on nic traffic, less cpu utilization, no cluster, no fail over, no FT, no DRS required then you can also go with xen, VMware visor.
If you go for free then in case of crash you need backup and paid always good if company is ready to spend money. Regarding easy GUI, once you start using it will be become friendly for you :).

Thx Sandeep for your inputs. I will give VMWare ELXi a try and see how it goes.
