"Virtual Private Database (VPD) and Oracle Label Security are not 
enforced during direct path Exports."  (from the docs).

Otherwise direct path export is faster than conventional path export, 
but the import side of things is unaffected by whether or not the export 
was direct.  I use the default RECORDLENGTH for the export, and for the 
import, I specify COMMIT=Y and an appropriate BUFFER value.
