Shelly: should I use REST or MQTT?

$

Hi there,

I want to add many Shelly devices (1, 2.5 and i3) to HA. I’m quite new to Linux, IoT, programming, … If I’m not mistaken there are two ways of adding Shellys - MQTT and REST. Some sources seem to say that MQTT is better suited for this purpose. Is that true and I should use MQTT?
Is it possible to use the i3 features and trigger different events via MQTT for a short, long or double button press?

Maybe I should explain some things I’d like to do:
Move shutters (shelly 2,5) to a specific position, eg 60% open
Turn shells relay on or off
Trigger home assistant event if i3 button is pressed
See Shelly relay status in HA
