We use exports to augment physical backups. They add some flexibility in recovering from user errors. BUT we rely on physical backups first. They protect from a whole host of potential problems. Exports only back up data and don't back up other critical items (redo logs, control files, etc.). I'm not in a 24x7 environment so I have some more flexibility than you may.
For more details, go to asktom.oracle.com and search for export backup. I found this article linked below on that site on this topic.
