Well, it was definitely worth it on one of my playthroughs where the game apparently bugged out. You know how you get bigger bonuses to strength the longer you don't drink blood but also become more vulnerable to sunlight? Well, my character got the strength boost (and the other vampire abilities), but the people were not scared of him and he was immune to sunlight. It all turned back to normal though when I, in a fit of stupidity, decided to drink some blood.
Normally though, definitely no.

Definitely is. Especially if you're into some self-RP. But even other than that, it's a free stat increase, and a big one at that, you just need to nibble on someone once in a while. It's also fantastic as it progresses and increases the stats over time. Meaning - you're in a dungeon and suddenly you're carrying too much shit? No problemo. 24h sleep and you're stronger&able to carry more for a while. Go back, leave loot in your house, give your maid a bite while she sleeps et voila 
Sunlight is easy as fuck to avoid, there's tons of caves to jump into for a quick wait/sleep.

Kinda a pain in the ass.
Here's the kicker: I actually rolled a character with the intent purpose of becoming a vampire and doing the Dark Brotherhood deal, but when the vampire ponce in the DB bit me it actually made my deathly pale character more flushed and ruined the look I was going for with the customizable sliders.

It's not worth becoming anything in Oblivion. It is, however, really worth becoming a vampire, in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
I accidentally got vampire'd in Oblivion, and I was going to go back a save and get rid of it, but someone accused me of savescumming, and my inner Roguelike fan was all like, "Challenge accepted."
But then it was really unpleasant, and I simply stopped playing the character because of it. I'd had a bug that made me have a bad drowning experience with the character before this, so I was trying out an Argonian mage for the sake of trying to deal with it. The bug didn't happen again, and I was stuck with a lizard vampire wizard (Which ruined the rhyme) with really freaky eyes. They never made an individual skin for the vampire argonians, it seems, so you get bloodshot human eyes instead. >.>
So yeah, unless you want something that forces you to not fast travel, avoid it.
