Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox to install openSUSE inder OS X? Opinions?

I want to install 13.1 under OS X Yosemite.
I want to get the easiest VM going possible.
I am not good with the CLI.
Hardware is Mac Mini with 2.6 GHz dual core and 8 gigs of ram.
I’ve got plenty of HD space with a one TB drive.
What VM would be the best choice? Free would be good but I’ll need hand holding.

Thanks for you opinions.

I use VirtualBox and VMWare Fusion on my Mac, and both run openSUSE just
fine here.

You don’t really need any CLI skills to do the installation - just go
with defaults in the VM, and you should be fine. You may need to install
guest OS tools when done, but again, that’s pretty straightforward,
especially on the Mac.
