IMO you can't go wrong with either. As long as your hardware meets the compatibility requirements of both then they are pretty equal in a small environment. If your background is in Windows Servers then you might find Hyper-V to be easier for you to support.

Hyper-V is aces for the really small business. It's very easy to work with. Be sure to size the host properly.

If you have server 2012 r2 or better you cant go wrong with hyperv as its part of the license.
