Well that totally depends on your workload
and what you want to run and how you want to scale.

In other words: no one can give you a good advice on this
topic with the information you provided.

How many compute nodes (hosts) do you plan?
What is your budget? how many vms will you host?
how many vm subnets? vlans? which storage technology
do you need? iscsi? fibre channel?
which technologies do you know(nfs, gluster)?
what are your vm workloads? databases, webservers..?

if you already have a test setup you should know how much
performance you need and I guess you already have some servers
with different stuff running.

In general: buy hardware you are familiar with and which does
the job for you.

for reliable servers you could go with dell, hp, ibm or the usual
other brandings.

but it really depends on your infrastructure and your ecosystem.

So: your mileage may vary.

HTH
