imho id won't hurt seo rankings long have keywords in url.
ids in urls can spare headache when have 2 or more articles same title/alias.
don't me wrong, of course best option have wanted keywords in url, seo advantage of ripping id out minor / unnoticeable. now, if have more other crap in urls, different story (like index.php, component names etc.)
