Neither KVM nor VirtualBox can present the virtual machine in the same 16:9 fullscreen format as your primary OS.
Are you implying that Virtualbox doesn´t have a full screen mode? Because, believe me, I have used it on Windows hosts to run Linux full screen.
I could run VirtualBox full screen allright but the actual guest screen was in 4:3 ratio and I couldn't get 16:9 ratio. So there were 2 large black bars on either side.
However that was some time ago (F16 had just come out). I have not tried VB recently.
I have just installed Ubuntu 13.04 (alpha, daily build) in F18 using KVM and 'virt-manager' and now I can get 16:9 fullscreen with KVM.
But it performs a bit slow and shaky. I don't know if this is due to virtualization or the alpha status of Ubuntu 13.04 or both.
Performance wise I would say that dual boot is preferable.
