If you have high impedance circuits, the no-clean flux residue can absorb moisture and sometime later become conductive.
Also, if the equipment is operated in a dirty environment, the flux can react with the airborne contaminants and cause similar problems.
But, if you can get away with no-clean, then it saves a whole process after stuffing and reflow.  I make most of my boards with no-clean, and they do fine except in special cases mentioned above.
