Ray,
Boy are you ever. In our location every version gets an Oracle_Home.
Databases that share the same version share the same home. BTW: Oracle Support
recommends using the listener for the highest version installed. I do that & it works
very darn well, unless your into extproc's. Then you should have an extproc listener
for each version installed.

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.
