INFORMIX: cleaner more modern design, server is more stable and gives better perfoemance on equivalent hardware. Less effort required of the DBA. The Illustra purchase
provides a very nice object-relational database for Informix users.

ORACLE: runs on any hardware in the world.   If you have some 3-rd party software
  which must access the databaase,
  you can be sure that ORACLE will be supported,    INFORMIX may not be ( INFORMIX is never the     #1 priority of other vendors like SAP for ex.)    Object support in Oracle 8 is half-baked;    the free PostgresSQL database is better    than Oracle for object support.
