You might want to consider pairing the oatmeal with more protein, perhaps a couple of scrambled egg whites or a slice or two of turkey bacon? It may just be my body and blood sugar issues but I do much better the rest of the day with something like this for breakfast. PB does have protein of course, but not all that much...
Steel-cut. I hate rolled oats, except the way DBF makes them, and even then, I'm not eating them pre-workout! I'm finding that I need fat and protein before a ride (or trainer workout), and all the fiber in oatmeal just sucks everything up. If I'm not riding/spending quality time with my trainer, oatmeal with almonds and dried cherries is fine.
