Personally, I would go with as much memory as you can afford, *especially*
if you want to do RAC or DG setups, that require multiple concurrent VMs.
With 12c memory requirements pushing to 4GB, and future versions almost
certainly going beyond that, there¹s no reason to go with anything less.
Yes, you¹ll probably be fine today with 16GB, but, if you want to do
various multi-VM tests, and looking to the future, I would absolutely get
as much memory as possible.
