If you're an ms shop, you can't go far wrong with SQL Server. It is used for many terabyte installations.
Which db do your dba's know better? Oracle is available on more platforms so portability is improved. Remember you cannot have arserver running on linux connecting to mssql on windows, whereas oracle would allow heterogeneous setup. But if you are an MS Shop, go with sql server. It's MS's best product imo. SQL Server has case insensitive support on ARS while oracle does not. HA is well handled in SQL Server, but expensive for Oracle with add on products. Same for replication features - cheaper with MS SQL Vs GoldenGate.

I think the licensing is no killing Oracle as I am seeing a number of customer move away from this and do to MS SQL (or DB2 - which does not seem to have as much support from BMC).
