I haven't bought either one yet, but will an oscar bother with the pleco? or will the pleco be food for Mr. Oscar too?

get them the same size or the pleco a little bigger because plecos grow very slow Oscars on the other hand grows fast and if the pleco can fit in his mouth he will be eaten

Depends on how big the Oscar and Pleco are. Even with Cichlids they will hound a Pleco to death if it isn't big enough to take care of itself. Buy a big Pleco and a small Oscar and hopefully they will get along well.

Long as its not a massive oscar with a really small pleco, you'll be fine. Plecos don't tend to be bothered much by larger fish - I've seen them kept fine with 2ft arowanas. Go for it.

NO, your cool there. Plecos survive with virtually any fish. Cichlids, Oscars, you name it.

Do not get either of these fish unless you have an enormous tank, like 100 gallons. Both species grow extremely large.

I would say that you should choose both but make sure that they are similiar in size or you could have a prob.
