i have some questions regarding the processor settings for a virtual machine

say i have 8 logical cores (2x quad cpus)

i am going to have 3 virtual machines running

what would work best ?

scenario #1:
number of logical processors = 8
virtual machine reserve = 25
virtual machine limit = 75

scenario #2:
number of logical processors = 2
virtual machine reserve = 100
virtual machine limit = 100

i am afraid of limiting a virtual machine to only 2 cores, just in case it needs that extra ooomph at the time.
isn't it the best idea to have all logical cores accessible by all the virtual machines ?
