I have no experience with oats or barley as a cover crop, so i can't address that. But it is my opinion that having a cover crop that over winters is the way to go especially in a continious no-till system, there is something about having early growth in spring to jump start the biological activity. Here is a good article by Paul Jasa http://cropwatch.unl.edu/2016/planting-corn-cereal-rye-cover-crop
