>>I'd take an non-clustered sequential integer or bigint as the PK index. If I was able to rewrite all applications I created, I'd do that. Clustered index could be bery usefull on certain queries, but I'd be very carefull when applying that.

The primary key option would prevent the duplicate key in both cases, and you'd have to generate another one and re-attempt the insert. A difference which makes no difference is no difference.
Agreed. My main argument against a GUID is that it takes up quite a bit more space. Its less efficient. I'd use a GUID when records are created from disconnected systems.
