Well, from an Oracle standpoint, 8.1.7 is the only RDBMS that is still supported by Oracle (except under their extended contracts). 9i offers some good things with administration tasks, but, if you're interested in an 8x solution, my vote would be 8.1.7.
As far as native vs. OBDC, I would use Native, since I remember (at least back in the days of CF 4.01) that Native drivers were faster than ODBC. That may be different now, but I always try to use native if available.

Any insight into best practices or experiences is appreciated - TIA!
