I would use forked F.
If you keep your air support just right and the Forked F on your oboe is pretty good, it should sound fine. For me, it is more succesful in a descending passage because it is a little flat on my current oboe, but I can usually goose it up a little to play in tune in the ascending passage as well.
> Also, do you "pros" out there avoid using a forked F *always*?
No. Not *always*. There are note combinations that require the Forked F, especially when they are fast.
Now if I have some slow and sustained solo, then I will usually find a way to use Left F (perhaps by using R Ab or sliding from Left F to Left Eb if a Db follows, maybe making a fast switch between R F and L F). There are lots of little tricks the books don't explain.
