To add to this...I would go blades for the Citrix servers and use VMWARE
for the "accessory" servers (WI, CSG, DCs and other types of servers
with low to mid utilization.)  It also depends on what your service
level agreements are and what your DR plan looks like.

With blades you can take advantage of the hardware.  With ESX your
buying REALLY big servers to get the same amount of power per VM as
the blades.  If your planning on supporting a lot of users, then I
would go blades.  VMWare just isn't designed to handle a large amount
of users in a VM.  You give up power because of the virtualization.
