I use both VMWare (Workstation and Fusion) and Oracle VirtualBox on my Windows and MacBook Pros.
Personally I like VirtualBox better for installing Linux VMs on which to try various things like Oracle DB and tools. It is partly a personal preference - for what I do, there is not much technical distiction. And part of the decision is that VirtualBox is open source GPL (no $$$), whereas I seem to get for-fee upgrade notices on the VMWare annually.
And I use Oracle Linux, in large part because it is also available at no fee (while being pretty much 100% compatible with RedHat Linux), and comes with a bunch of extra stuff tailored to installing and running just a smigdge easer (as compared to the other RH clones, such as Centos). I don't mind not putting on my sysadmin hat as often. And the fact that Oracle has a free public YUM site for most s/w updates & security fixes is a huge bonus.
