Why are you assuming that row level locking requires you to lock the data on read/browse??? LONG transactions are even better when you can get atomic, row-level, locks rather than page locks. Unless you mean true long transactions, then neither scheme is worthy of that.
If you look at most Oracle aware tools, they only lock that single record, iff that record has been modified.
