My personal opinion, use DBCA. With a new database version, I might use DBCA to generate the script, then read the script, just to see what's in there, and then run the script.

Back in the 7.0, maybe 8.0 days, it wasn't a big deal to create a database manually. Today, w/ 11gR2, 12cR1, there's just a lot of options to consider, too many really, to remember from memory. And really, how much value is there in learning and memorizing all that syntax?

Just my opinion,

I totally concur. Reading the DBCA generated script is often an eye-opener.

But the possibility of either forgetting something and the opportunity to debug a hand-coded script does not hold any major appeal any more.
