I have not done much admin work with Oracle OCI drivers.
I understand there is some work installing/configuring OCI.

On the other hand, if max performance is the issue,
Oracle recommends OCI.  Oracle has published studies showing
performance differences between 'thin' and 'oci8'.

I tend to like 'thin' because it's 100% java. :)
I can easly go between machines when developing & testing.
