Use/Dont Use ROWID in queries

Readers:

I was told recently that ROWID should not be used in queries since it is not unique, especially if the tables are clustered [whatever that means] and you loose the rowid when you do an export/import of the data.

I am conufused on this matter and was wondering if anyone could help clarify this for me. I always heard that you should use ROWID whenever it is possible since it's the fastest way to manipulate records and other reasons.

Thanks for you time in advance!
