For ease of use Pro*c is the winner for me. With the precompilers you simply embed the sql statements inside the c. The precompiler turns them into the correct series of calls. OCI, you basically make the calls yourself.
Last time I examined the results of the precompiler the calls generated did not match the oci calls. I don't know if there is a performance difference since I have never benchmarked the two.
