:) You've stuck with conventional export .. does not mean that you will never hit a bug in future versions. In most versions ... Direct path export is not any worse or better than conventional export in terms of bugs. You can easily test out if you are hitting a bug ... just export import .. and compare data in the two instances.

Of course if there is no need to speed up the export .. then why bother. .. and if you are critically relying on export as a backup .. then re-check your conventional option. How do you know you are not hitting a bug already :)
