We do incremental on weekdays and full on weekends for our Oracle databases.
I do find that both types of backup take "about" the same amount of time.
As far as I know we never looked into backup of just redo during the week
but I think we will now.

We used to use SQL Backtrack and we did a hot full backup of a 1 TB database
nightly in about 3-4 hours going to a 300GB disk pool with 16 threads. We
then backed up the redo logs nightly.

Subject: SQL-BACKTRACK & ORACLE
Hi:
Our oracle DBA claims that 'hot' incremental backups of Oracle takes as long
as 'hot' full backups using SQL-BACKTRACK. Instead he does weekly full 'hot'
backups of the database and backups of the redo logs thru the week.
Is that how others using SQL-BACKTRACK and ORACLE do thier backups?
