Are there any hard and fast rules about when to use fq vs adding to the
query?  For instance if I started with a search of

camera

then wanted to add another keyword say digital, is it better to do

q=camera AND digital

or

q=camera&fq=digital

I know that fq isn't taken into account when doing highlighting, so what I
am currently doing is when there are facet based queries I am doing fqs but
everything else is being added to the query, so in the case above I would
have done q=camera AND digital.  If however there was a field called
category with values standard or digital I would have done
q=camera&fq=category:digital.  Any guidance would be appreciated.
