I have a college course Im taking and we work off of a cd rom disc that isn't compatible with mac, i have a copy of vista, and this would be the only reason I'd really need to use windows as far as I know. Which one would be best for me? Thanks

I run Vista on bootcamp and love it. Yes you have to turn the computer off and then on to switch from OS X and Windows, but you can run Windows natively in it unlike Parallels or VM. It has worked great for me and I haven't had any problems.
If you only need it for that one thing skip paying and use VirtualBox from Sun, which will allow you to virtualise Windows and therefore remove the need to reboot but is free.
