objectGUID

also known as Object-Guid

A 128-bit GUID assigned at creation and never changed for the life of the object. It survives renames and moves between OUs and domains, which makes it the handle you should key external integrations on. Bind your sync tool to the DN and it breaks the first time someone reorganizes an OU; bind it to objectGUID and it rides through.
