I throw an exception.
The developer will not be 'using' the CFC, the users of the website, and it is 
important for us that we get notififed it it has failed in someway, and our 
exception handerling code (ultimaly boils up to a cferror page that emails 
us) handles this - in dev. enviroment too.

Then the developer (I assume when you said 'user', you meant a developer) 
deserves what they get.
The code should make sure the user of the wewb site can not enter invalid data 
(string into numeric field). If the user bypasses this, then I think it is OK 
for the CFC to throw an exception.
