>The only thing that could get you... Or any kind of malware in your host system. The benefit of TAILS is that you are booting into a clean environment that is exactly as the authors' released. A better system would combine the strengths of a live system like TAILS to host your gateway virtual machine and a separate machine for your workstation.

That is a factor, but if you use a clean install and don't connect to the internet outside of the VM then there's little chance of getting infected. Whonix does has the possibility of keeping the gateway on another machine. You could in theory keep the VM on a flash drive and boot a liveUSB/CD with virtualbox already installed, thus running Whonix in "live" mode.
