I still like to use concept of /u[0-9][0-9]/oradata/$DBNAME, that means database name is included in directory path and I can use wildcards when playing around in file system. Other notation I've seen is somewhat opposite: /data/$DBNAME/[0-9][0-9]/

Other installations have used no standard for placing datafiles or have used "random" as standard :|
