I have used both hosted and standalone engine and can tell that so far I had more issues with hosted engine than with standalone one.
Not like huge issues, but something like you put host in to global HA maintenance, then update hosted engine, reboot and... and it doesn't start.
Not a big deal, but for a new user it might be a bit confusing.
So am with Michael, if you just starting using oVirt then it's better to have standalone engine et first. And then migrate it over into hosted environment when you are comfortable to do so.

Disagree, I've had some pretty significant meltdowns and if you cant access hosted engine, go have drink and try again... It comes up.  It's ability to self-repair and find a scrap of a host to run on is pretty impressive.

I've been running hosted engine on a single host for a few years now with
no issue.  I did redo my initial install several times but its been fine
ever since. I started at 4.0.x and have gone through multiple OS and ovirt
upgrades with few issues.
