Depends on what programs you need to run.

I used to be a (quite) happy Parallels user - but I only use Windoze for a few programs (mainly IE for websites that dont behave properly with Firefox)

With Parallels I got fed up with having to load Win XP every time I wanted to do a quick task so now I use Crossover - I find this loads a lot quicker and doesn't need as much memory as Parallels to run properly. But, Crossover does not support all Windoze progs - even if it doesn't officially support the one you want to use it's worth giving it a go as you may be surprised.
