I would suggest first using mbox for everything, since you already have mbox working.
Dovecot can support a mixed environment, and maildir is indeed somewhat faster, but if only some of your users intend to use imap, mbox plus dovecot's indexes may very well be sufficient without conversion. If the performance is acceptable, you might not need to run a mixed environment.
