Which is better for a clustered index Identity or a random Bigint column

Hi All,

In a datawarehouse style table, I am wondering which one is better for the design of the table, an identity column which has no use for a query perspective. Or a column which is also unique, but not ordered and the column is used a lot especially within joins inner/left for data loads ?

Thanks in advance.
