What is your ratio between physical and virtual CPU cores?

I'm curious how many virtual machines people put on servers. The most expensive part of most low end servers I'm looking at are the CPU cores so I'm looking to maximise the number of virtual cores on a system but without doing too much harm to the performance of other virtual machines on the server.

Apart from monitoring all the virtual machines to make sure no one is being a "bad neighbour" how many virtual cores do you allocate virtual machines compared with the number of physical cores on the server?

My inital plan was 2 virtual cores for every physical core but I'm curious if this is too conservative?
