The biggest factors are the featureset of the version and the support level. I'd go to Oracle 10g for two main reasons....one, the featureset is larger. You can do more with 10g and some of its new automated features make it easier to manage. Two, it will be supported longer than 9i. I guess a third factor for me is...why upgrade to 9i now and then upgrade to 10g later? Why not upgrade straight to 10g and save yourself some work....
