Mobi is a much more limited format than either epub or AZW3. If you convert an epub to Mobi, then convert the Mobi to AZW3, there will be loss of formatting that you can never recover. (embedded fonts, margins, and drop caps, being the most common I'm aware of.)

(Note: It's perfectly ok to convert an epub to both Mobi and AZW3. This is probably the default if you don't delete the original epub before converting to AZW3)
