The tiger barbs will make a tasty snack for a large oscar..and they get large fast.

Oscar + Tiger Barbs = No

Oscar + Severum = depends on temperament of the Oscar

Oscar + Plec = should be ok

Oscar + Catfish = should be ok with larger catfish

All tankmates will depend on you have excellent filtration and a good regular water regime.
