Additionally does ASM administration need additional Skill Set / Training

Folks
For subsequent RAC Deployment in ver 10gR2, A Banking customer needs to take a 
decision on use of Cluster file system versus ASM?

Prima-facie, How do the 2 compare in terms of Performance, scalability, 
availability, migration, ease of use, backups, need for training etc.

Any Docs, Links will help.
