You could always boot into the full OS but I've never had any issues with it being too slow or not fast enough when running VM. But then again, it all depends on your machine. That said (since I'm already responding to this, I'll answer the original question here too), the best answer is usually whatever you're most comfortable working with. However, the exception here for me is that I would personally prefer a Mac simply because I could install Linux and that a Mac is required for iDev.
