Hi,
It would always be recommended to purchase the latest version of software ....
Are you planning to control Oracle RAC using Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC ? or you want to use only veritas volume manager ?
For Solaris, latest version is 5.1SP1 -PR3 however since you want to use Oracle 9i (if under veritas SF control) then you may need to use SF 5.0-MP3
I would recommend you check release notes of any version to understand the pre-requisites .. All documentation can be found here:

Supported solaris versions for 5.1:

Required OS patches for 5.1:

Supported DB version for 5.1

I see here that Oralce 9i is not supported,
