I'd stay away from ivy. You will have a lifelong battle to keep it off the oak and it can eventually kill the tree if not kept in check.

My choice would be Vinca Minor. It's evergreen, so it will look as good in January as it does in October. The purple or white blooms are great in Spring and it won't climb the tree.
