I did not see many answers to your question.
The Oracle 816 doc mentions to set umask to 022 for
the Oracle account.
Bill Burke, "the kinder and gentler dba" , has made a
document a long time ago where it was mention to set
permission to 750 on datafiles. That was for Oracle 7
before there was the oinstall group.
Now the datafiles belong to the oinstall group,
setting umask to 022 for the Oracle account allows a
dba (someone in the dba group) to see the datafile at
the OS level but also anybody else.
