Any review of Webuzo ? They have a free version.

It's ok, I personally don't like it because you don't get much control over what you do, but it allows you to install wordpress and similar cms in one click.
If you know what softacouls is, webuzo it's pretty much the same thing. The downside is that it isn't a multi user panel.
Helpful and free support over skype.

Is it possible to add a domain to the "DNS" section and then also add that same domain to the "Websites" section to allow me to control the mxrecords of the domain while also using it for my websites? At least, that is how it appears vesta works to me.

Yes, vesta will setup a full web server with mail, dns and ftp access.
It's very flexible, you can choose to host the website and the dns on your server, while using google mail for your emails.

apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html && service apache2 restart

But you will still probably be missing wstunnel module which you will have to compile by yourself if you're running an apache 2.2.X version (check with apache2ctl -v).
Nginx is far better for this job (will work faster and use less resources): https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/wiki/Configuring-nginx-as-a-proxy-to-NodeBB
Just open /etc/nginx/sites-available/default in a file editor and at the end add put the configuration that's written in the wiki. Remeber to restart nginx to load the new configuration with service nginx restart.
If you still want to work with apache the file structure is similar: /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.

Sure, by default it will have MX records for the local mail server but you can change them them to whatever you want.
For redundancy you can also setup a slave DNS server with a few commands: http://vestacp.com/docs/#how-to-setup-dns-cluser

From my experience and opinion:
Webmin/Usermin/Virtualmin: good panel, not the best UI but doesn't mess up with your server
Kloxo: outdated with a nasty UI, you might want to look at Kloxo-MR which is an active fork of Kloxo
zPanel: stay away from it (security problems and bad 'community', read for example: http://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/1ee0eg/zpanel_support_team_calls_forum_user_fucken/)
ISPConfig: solid panel, requires some manual work to get it working
VestaCP: love this panel, it has a clean structure and doesn't mess up with the server
Ajenti V: I've used the standard Ajenti package about a year ago and it was ok, Ajenti V looks interesting with support for nodejs which other panels don't provide
Open Panel: seems dead but it did the job when I tried it

Other panels I didn't tried:
Froxlor: requires some manual work to set it up
i-MSCP
EHCP
AlternC
CentOS Web Panel

You might also want to check TuxLite, it's a shell script that will help you manage a LAMP/LNMP stack with simple commands.
