I have used VMware and VirtualBox. My son recommends VirtualBox. More open source. I find them about equal obtuseness.
My son is an apple OS x fan, but uses linux at home and at work. He works for Intel. Works on software development tools for embedded microprocessors and micro controllers.

From my current level of use I have not really major cons or pros.

But this link provides several opinions that seem overall to be reasonable. Which to me indicate flip a coin.

Currently when I play I am focusing more on VirtualBox.

I am just running up Windows 10 on the free VMware application on Windows 7.

Even my little ol amd quad can handle it all. 3.2 GB of RAM is being used to run Win 10 on VMware.

You just get the win 10 iso file, VM player can run from the iso file, you dont need to burn it onto a DVD.
