Does the user of the PC application has a say about which format the would like to download?
You never have a say.

KFX > AZW3 > MOBI
Whichever is the "best" one your device or application supports, will be downloaded.
(Kindle for iOS is not relevant to this discussion -- it has its own weird format. And some books are only available in another, special format. Like the Topaz OCR scans, or an AZW4 Print Replica which is a PDF and is usually used for textbooks.)

Currently, K4PC supports AZW3 and MOBI.
If a book has an AZW3 format, it will download AZW3. Otherwise it will download MOBI.
(Books published before AZW3 and never updated, will only be available in MOBI. I get some of those on my Kindle Touch too.)
