It'd actually be whoever donates the equipment to run the auto-tester on.  I don't care if I'm 
logging into a virtual or physical box, as long as it supports ssh and the other requirements of the 
test system.

I've used both in the past.  On modern arm, I suspect it'd be significantly faster than even a very 
fast x86 box emulating an arm system, but I'm not picky.
