I would say, the best is the one the writer is most comfortable to use (with the cave eat, that he knows, what he is doing)
Seriously, simple markdown is just html-tags. The most common use case is to write html with it. There are of course extended versions. These one could argue are maybe better to write text than html, because they add semantic syntax. The idea is then to define in the markdown, what something IS, which is then for example interpreted as html. Footnotes and citations for example. Or math (in html you would need for example some embedded java script to render that). Of course you can (and maybe should) use html in the same way. It is just preference in the end.
