In my mind, keep your virtualized environment as unified as possible. It makes management and ease of use much smoother.

You may end up taking too much time integrating 3rd party solutions... in my past experience the more piecemeal you have, the more difficult it is to manage. You end up having 3 or 4 different vendors with different support, different ways to access...upgrading issues etc. Keep it in the family
