I've always preferred using Windows alongside OS X in a VM, unless it's a graphics intensive task.

Any reason VMWare is explicitly mentioned? I've always used Parallels and they've had the bootcamp integration for a while now.

mainly haven't tried the Parallels method, prior experience with Windows 7 using Paralles always end up running out of memory. I found VMware has a better integration in terms of VMware tools that comes along.
