Another argument:

According to 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-depend.html
I have to use :ID: properties and not :CUSTOM_ID: properties.

,----[ task with dependency to a generated ID ]
| ** TODO a task
| :PROPERTIES:
| :BLOCKER: 6347hsfdl387ns43
| :ID:
`----

... in comparison to:

,----[ task with dependency to a manually written ID ]
| ** TODO a task
| :PROPERTIES:
| :BLOCKER: contacting-customer-XY
| :ID:
`----

I prefer the example with the manually written ID since it is human
readable.
