I have used both custom ORM or ORM like layers, SQLAlchemy, Elixir, and a bit of Storm (just to try it out). I found that the learning curve was lessened for me with existing ORMs expecially Storm, Elixir and the new Elixir-like declarative syntax of SQLAlchemy. What I liked about SQLAlchemy was the ability to short circuit any layer and use just what you needed. If you only wanted the model and wanted to write your own SQL then it cleanly supports that. YMMV However, for my uses I did not need tight performance and thus did not compare our custom solutions to that of the official ORMs so can't comment on that aspect of the overhead.
On a side note, I am not a fan of Oracle due to reasons like Jani gave.
