Based on [url]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11938044/what-are-the-best-practices-for-using-a-guid-as-a-primary-key-specifically-rega[/url] question on StackOverflow, IMHO if you use sequential GUID as PK with non-clustered index and use a INT or BIG INT IDENTITY as clustered index and considering that the app might later require replication, it would be beneficial and wouldn't have that much performance lost in table scans, inner joins and inserts.

But what about the may to many relations? Should we also use a different (INT or BIGINT) clustered index for their bridge table to gain the same performance as bridge tables with BIGINT FKs?
