OCI drivers are supposed to be part of the Oracle client install. You'll have to include the drivers in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and normal PATH. It does not matter where the database is running but you will need the client on the box that your Java programs are running on.
In general, the thin JDBC layer works well. I even read a book that showed that the thin driver was faster that the thick driver for some prepared statement calls.
