I'm using OpenJDK for Java 7 right now, but I'm heavily considering moving to the Oracle version. I keep reading that they're the same codebase, but while that may be, they're hardly the same release. OpenJDK uses these IcedTea releases that don't map to Oracle's "u" releases at all.
As of now, IcedTea is lagging behind Oracle JDK 7u2 and it's not clear when it'll catch up. 7u2 has some important bug fixes and invokedynamic performance enhancements. So, it seems like the better release to go with.
