I am still running Wheezy and would like to test Jessie before

point me to a link on how best to set it up and use it. I will want
to test it with, and without, systemd. Would a dual boot be a better
way to test this?

I'm going to vote on the side of a virtual machine. The advantage of a
virtual machine is that you don't need to do anything more if you decide
to keep it. Virtual machines are great for servers as they can keep
multiple services isolated (e.g. Samba DC in one, File & Print in
another, etc.). Once set up with a virtual machine infrastructure you
can test upgrades easily.
As for systemd, you can select the init system during boot so you don't
need two installs for that.
