I am still in planning phases of a home lab. If I ran the host os as server 2012 with hyper v would the host os be a DC or would it best to have the whole lab all within hyper v?

Personally, I would put the whole lab within hyper-V.Currently Reading: Learn Python The Hard Way

If this is a true lab server, then I would look at putting Windows Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 (or even 2012) on it. That is unless of course you have a technet subscription so you don't have to worry about the trial expiring on you.
You will want to put all of your servers in hyper-v as it isn't advisable to run any other roles on a hyper-v server.MCTS: Windows Vista, Configuration

Use this nested setup and have as many Hyper-v hypervisors as you desire > virtuallyGhetto: How to Enable Nested ESXi & Other Hypervisors in vSphere 5.1 . Go crazy with your labbing.
