I run Windows 8.1 through Parallels with Visual Studio 2013 and I have not had any issues on my 15" 2012 rMBP.
I do need to point out that I had been using VMWare Fusion for Windows and everything was a bit "fuzzy" like you describe. But once I switched to using Parallels everything (especially text) was incredibly sharper.
I can't really give any recommendation for using Bootcamp. The last time I tried it the touch pad driver was horrible compared to using a vm within OSX. If that has improved since 2011(I think) someone let me know.
