MOBI is the old mobipocket mobi7 format.
AZW3 is the new mobipocket mobi8 format.

MOBI has the option in Conversion Output settings to switch between regular MOBI, and dual MOBI which contains an additonal AZW3 component inside. For no reason I can discern, it also allows you to choose "new MOBI"... which is AZW3, making it just a touch obsolete.
