RAW devices

A few questions on the use of raw partitions.

Do you guys use them? I know they can give you a performance boost if I/O is the bottleneck of the database and that data integrity is better if using them since always know that Oracle writes going to disk and not in OS cache but do you guys use them. I see that Oracle does not reccomend that you use them. Are raw devices very difficult to manage (e.g. backups, sizing/planning, etc.)? Are they worth the trouble?

Do you guys use cooked files to overcome the data integrity issue instead of raw partitions?

Thanks for your help
