I used to lean more towards an "oral only is best" way of thinking, but having read alot of posts from people who've been raised in oral only environments, I can see where I was wrong.
I think knowing both ASL and English greatly improves a deaf person's/child's success in life. Hence, restricting them to one or the other severely limits that child/person.
Just my .02
