Oracle on AIX has it's quirks (PVID and ASM, LARGE_PAGE, cLVM and RAC, etc) but it works reasonable well.
Solaris has a big advantage: it's Oracles 64bit development platform. therefore bug reporting/fixing is a lot easier with Solaris. some time ago i waited more than 3 weeks to get a bug approved because Oracle had no AIX 5.3+latest installation available.
