Vmware workstation works great on Ubuntu I have running on my workstation with my old winxp boxed virtualized. With unity mode I can run my old winxp apps as of they were native in Ubuntu. I've never ran vmware on a windows host so I can't comment there but ESXi is not ideal for non-servers as various ports like usb and serial don't really work too well. Also I doubt there is much 3D accelerating in ESXi as compared to vmware workstation. Never used virtual box so I can't comment there.
