I would say:

If you depend on exception handleing being fast, this is an implementation
dependency.

If after that, exceptions are still an option for you, then use them if in
your judgement it makes the code easier to understand (or at least, no
harder).  If it's a just a notational shortcut that makes it easier to write
but harder to understand, then I wouldn't use them.  But there's nothing
wrong with making it easier to write if it doesn't obscure the code.  Maybe
it makes it easier to write *and* read -- if so, great, use 'em!
