The two I use are very simple:
select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 GB from dba_segments; <-- current segment
usage, so you can "ball-park" the space required to do something like an
import.

select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 GB from dba_data_files; <-- The size of
the actual data files, including free space. Handy if you're wanting to
create an identical copy of the db.

Temp files and redo are not included but that information is easy enough to
obtain.

HTH,
Justin
