Assuming the availability is equal then physical/virtual would not be a consideration. Some guidelines here on roles placement.

Dave PatrickI can hold all role in one server ? and if this server failure then i can resize fsmo another server ?
I remember old in the days, Windows 2003, the recommendation was to have the FSMO and the PDC in a physical, for timing issues and sync as the hardware will provide better accuracy, but I don't think this is applicable these days.
So if its on Virtual or Physical and you are maintaining the HA, then no worry.
