It would be more convenient for me to register a unique onClickListener for 
each row in the ListView, but I want to be sure that this is an acceptable 
practice. 

The reason for this is that I have multiple classes of rows in the ListView. 
Each class has a completely different responsibility and behavior. For 
example, consider a ListView that can contain both sub-categories and book 
titles. If a book title is clicked, a new activity should start that shows 
the cover image. If a sub-category is clicked, a new list of books and 
categories is displayed.

I'd like the row itself to maintain knowledge about its own identity and 
responsibility rather than having to leak the knowledge about each row to 
be maintained by the implementer of onItemClickListener.

I'd also like to know what the performance implications are of doing this 
vs. implementing my own logic to figure out how to handle the click.

Are there drawbacks to implementing onClickListener for each ListView 
ArrayAdapter row instead of onItemClickListener?  I'm looking for  concrete 
data and specific drawbacks rather than vague recommendations.

Should I expect memory use, initialization time, or steady-state speed 
(like scrolling through the list) to be significantly affected?
