IT depends, the thin version means that your application can run anywhere that has a JVM but have to supply the database in <server name>:<port>:<oracle sid>.

The OCI version requires that sql*net is installed on the client machine, but you just use the tnsnames.ora file to choose the database alias.

Being Intranet you can generally choose which is the easist for you to implement. I've generally used the thin version as it is a lot easier to administer and is truely thin client. I use a tnsnames.ora equivilant file on the web server which my application reads and displays a list of available databases where this is required.
