Fonts will be stripped -- to me that's a plus.
Whatever works for you, of course, but I convert quite a lot of books from ePub format, and often find that the results are better when converting to KF8 than to Mobi. One thing that very commonly comes across better, to give a specific example, is drop caps at the start of a chapter. It's only a minor feature, certainly, but I just personally prefer KF8.
