As for tricky left-right switching, I would recommend using forked-F whenever possible to avoid unnecessary and risky switches between left and right versions of notes. (Same with fast passages - use the forked fingering! It is a much cleaner switch than using left F. It shouldn't be frowned upon as a "bad" or "cheat" fingering. Just DON'T press down the Eb key)
This will also give a better phrase, as more attention can be given to the music at that time, rather than "oh my god here comes that tricky key switch!".

Of course if the oboe that one has is of lesser quality, and the forked F is not acoustically functional, then it won't work. However, on any decent oboe, as long as the reed is functioning properly, and one is BLOWING then the forked F should sound in tune and should match tone color to surrounding notes. For some reason, if the reed isn't good, it is THE most obvious note - it sounds horrible!
