Haven't used DB2 before but if you are only doing general database type work, look at the following factors:
- cost
- in house or out of house support (i.e. do you have people that know one or the other)
- OS platform
- Third party application needs (do they offer their software for either DB?)
I've used Oracle for a while now without any major issues. The few minor problems were resolved through Oracle support. I haven't used DB2 to know what sort of issues it may have.
If you are building an application from the ground up, I would try to develop so that you were not DB dependent if possible.
