The prc/mobi format supported by the Kobo firmware is the original Mobipocket format so quite a few of Amazon's newer mobi format ebooks are not compatible with a Kobo ereader so conversion to epub is definitely the better choice.

As for 101% compatibility? I would love to find an epub renderer that was 100% compatible with either the epub2 or epub3 specifications.
KFX is not really a contender. KFX is just a way for Amazon to combat DRM free eBooks. KFX is a mess and really needs to go away.
