FULL vs USER (EXPORT UTILITY QUESTION)

Assuming that my primary backup strategy is nightly file backup ( oracle 9i on small Database < 500M ) I am wondering wheter a nightly User( owner ) Export might be more than sufficient for a secondary backup of table info assuming we have all the updated scripts to recreate the database, tablespaces, users, tables, synonyms, constraints,roles and grants? If all I really care about is the data. I am just wondering whether doing a FULL Export is overkill vs User Export. Or is the basic rule of thumb of having more information better? Is there more complexity to using the Import utility from a FULL vs. Table or User?

Thanks
