Issue choosing Hikari vs DataDirect : Connection pool performance info for Oracle 12c?

Question

I have to deal with a legacy ESB system, it provides a DataDirect connection pool (from Progress).

I'm thinking of using Hikari as it seem to be more active than even commercial Progress! In addition to that, using connectivity from Hikari helps me mock db for unit testing, and for integration testing all the business logic. If not, I have to deploy to legacy ESB, for each cycle.

Is there factual performance data for Hikari vs DataDirect connection pool?

Progress commercial seemsseems as old as Oracle9:
