Have you considered clustering?

Hi,
I'm looking for feedback on setting up a
high-availability architecture for our production
database. In a nutshell, we are a 24-hour shop and I
need to be able to keep a secondary database
(failover) in sync with the primary in case the
primary fails. I have supported advanced replication
(asynchronous) in the past but it was a single master
relationship not multi-master.
I'm leaning towards a standby database setup because my experience with advanced replication is less than favorable if/when transactions get out of sync. Also, one of the tables contains a LONG RAW. This column may go away or may be converted to a CLOB in the very near future but still needs to be kept in consideration when selecting a solution.
The platform is Sun (SunOS 5.7) with 8.1.6. The secondary machine and database will most likely be located in another state. The database is small right now (~10Gb) and will continue to grow, but not too fast.
What are your opinions?
Is there an obvious choice between the two
alternatives?
Is there another alternative that I should be
considering?
Thanks VERY much in advance.
