Last week happened the #AzureChat and they answered this question too:

Q4: When should I use push in Mobile Services vs push in Notification Hubs?

A4: Notification Hubs works with any backend, including Mobile Services, your custom backend in the cloud, or your on-premises backend. Use Notification Hubs with your custom backend (including on-premises), if your backend needs rich high scale personable push. Use Mobile Services direct push if your push needs in mobile services are direct. Use Mobile Services and Notification Hubs if you need richer push in your Mobile Services including broadcast & templating, etc. - @kirillg_msft

A4: Notification Hubs are optimized to broadcast millions of highly personalized push notifications within minutes. Mobile Services is great for sending event-triggered push notifications. In a two player game, for example, you would use push through Notification Hubs to broadcast special offers to everyone at once, but push through Mobile Services to notify Player B that Player A just completed his turn. - @mlunes90
