Clearly the best integration with Oracle is Designer. You also have the ability to generate your Forms and Reports. Previously, Forms generation has been a "dark art", but now that the new book on generation is out by Atkins et al (Oracle Press) more people should start doing generation.
My shop has looked at a number of tools and we are very happy with Designer.
