my 2cents...
Every instance get it's own oracle home, user id and group id. Total isolation and
separation. It
makes our auditors happy too!
Then again, I may be an extremist...

Not unless you have some peculiar situation there. Use separate ORACLE_HOME
for each version of Oracle but not each database.

The separate ORACLE_HOME for each version takes care of this. You just
change the ORACLE_HOME in the oratab when you upgrade the database. If you
use environment setting scripts, have them grab the correct ORACLE_HOME from
the oratab.
something like:
export ORACLE_HOME=`/usr/bin/nawk -F: '$1 == SID {print $2}'
SID="$ORACLE_SID" "$ORATAB"`
where ORATAB is the path to your oratab file.
Sorry, I got no opinions on your storage arrangement.
