Totally depends on your needs. ESXI isn't really an equivalent of Virtualbox - its a dedicated hypervisor that runs on its own Linux based operating system so requires a dedicated host box. The VMware equivalent to Virtualbox is VMware Workstation which you have to pay for, this will sit on top of an existing OS. I'm not really sure I'd call any of them easier than v.box though - whats the challenge your finding?
If its running on top of your usual OS (on your laptop) - stick to Virtualbox or consider HyperV. If you've got a dedicated bit of hardware sitting purely running the VM's I'd use ESXI.
