First off, MobX is a great tool. It's worth trying out to understand your options beyond just Redux. Second, MobX and Redux select for different trade-offs, and which one you choose for a personal project comes down to personal preference.

Some trade-offs:
- MobX requires less boilerplate code, but does more heavy lifting for you using a reactive programming paradigm.
- I believe that it takes most developers longer to learn how to use MobX than Redux, particularly if unfamiliar with the reactive patterns.
- Redux is verbose, but very explicit; its relatively easy for new devs to ramp up on and maintain a Redux codebase.
- I'm not up to speed with the latest tools in the MobX dev environment, but the Redux developer tools are outstanding.

If your organization is making this decision, the size of the Redux community should also play a roll (think: hiring). Plainly put, there are many more Redux developers out there, as well as middleware and auxiliary libs, blog posts, stackoverflow answers, and so on.

Happy learning!
