Our company did a selection survey of the major players and picked Oracle over Ingres. Ingres has a slight edge in statistics-based DBA anlysis tools but Oracle has a bigger user base and a much more progressive attitude towards their tools. Ingres is a very close second- if you are on a tight budget, it could well make up the difference. The issue of "file visibility" is sort of smoke and mirrors- even if you know what the files are named, you are probably not going to be restoring them individually.
Just my $0.02
