Fuad,
with RAC 10gR2, there's no HACMP. And if you use ASM, no OCFS nor GPFS either,
so it gets down to the hardware cost, and above all, maintenance costs of the servers, plus administrators availability (i.e. your guys know better Linux than AIX, or the other way around, in many cases services around the servers cost, over some years more than the servers themselves)
