In any case, you should better place your online redo log files, temporary and data files on raw devices whenever possible. Look at the Steve Adams site, http://ixora.com.au for the reasons (e.g. http://ixora.com.au/tips/use_raw_log_files.htm).

For all other Oracle files, like Oracle binaries themself or control files, UFS logging will give nothing bad, I think.
