Thus far I do everything from the command line.  I want to get a GUI of some sort for remote management but can't decide on what is my best option and I don't want to dirty up my dom0 experimenting.

Please make recommendations as you see fit.

Are you using anything for remote domain management? I've been checking out virt-manager for CentOS 5, but ye ghods, it acts like a pretty interface written by a complete newb. No ability to detect and load turned off domains, no ability to list available partitions or create them, no ability to pre-set your vifnames or MAC addresses or other features, etc. etc., etc.

Not a very good tool. I'm hoping to find something better, but the ones I've seen recommended took higher versions of graphic and python and other toolkits than CentOS 4 had when I was looking last.
