It depends on the requirements:

Para Virtualization:

  • Needs the guest OS to be hacked.
  • Better performance
  • Support for specific OSes.

Full Virtualization

  • Can use the OS as it is (untouched).
  • Lower performance because of emulating privileged instruction (Those that trap if the processor is in user mode).
  • Support for mostly any OS

So, regarding your need, you should use the one that fits your needs.
