MSSQL float data to Oracle NUMBER or FLOAT(126)

I am in process of porting the existing MSSQL database to equivalent Oracle 10g2 database. I have several tables in MSSQL with column of type float (MSSQL float). Now I want to port these tables in Oracle 10g R2. Which type i should choose? NUMBER(m,n) or FLOAT(126)?
I want to ensure that data is not lost (precision/decimal places loss) when ported to Oracle.
