For backup/rebuild reasons, you should put your .dbf files on a seperate (physical) disk from all the other oracle binaries. that way if the drive carrying the dbf files dies the log file can be used to recreate. Striping would require at least three physical disks, and should be four, one for binaries two to stripe and on for parity hot swap/mirror (5).
