VCS now supports vMotion, so I would install VCS, because as you say, if the O/S, which includes things like the registry keys for your application, gets corrupt, then with VCS you can failover the application to a different O/S. VCS also gives you more flexibilty - see https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/veritas-global-cluster-solution-vs-esxi-vmware-srm for more details which although started off about a discussion including GCO, most of the discussion does not involve GCO.
Also see https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sfhadr-vvr-running-physical-and-virtual-server for details on Vmotion with VCS.
