The Mobile project's business entities, by design, exclude access to anything in the HTTP request & response messages. So, you choose REST when your ABL application code requires direct access to the HTTP request/response context, headers, cookies, and character formatted body contents. For all other cases I think the Mobile project's business entities are the best fit. A REST service, in either a REST or Mobile project, allows you to map any HTTP artifact to procedure/class-method parameters. The penalty you pay for having accessing all of the HTTP request/response messages is that you must manually map each procedure, class-method, and parameter to a HTTP request/response component using a GUI mapping utility - a very long process if you have more than a few REST APIs.
