Provider for Oracle Database?

I am developing an application in VB .NET and Oracle 8i.
I am exactly not sure about what provider should I use
for my database.

Which one would give the best performance and also will
not have any conflicts from moving from Oracle 8i to
oracle 9i in the near future.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Download the OracleClient from microsoft's website. It's
supposed to be the fastest. Oledb will also work, but
it's much slower because it's generic.

Good luck
