It is usually better to convert from either EPUB or KF8 (azw3) since these support more rich formatting features, such as drop caps, that are not supported in MOBI format. MOBI is based on a very old HTML standard.

The provenance of files should also be considered. For example an EPUB that was created by conversion from MOBI format will convert no better than the original MOBI. Conversion can remove formatting in some cases, but it won't add it back in.
