When to use other serialization protocol like protobuff in Hadoop mapreduce

Hadoop has its own serialization mechanism but it can also work with other serialization protocols like protocol buffer. It is completely possible to use protocol buffer for all situations and also it is possible to use mapreduce writable mechanism for all situations. Here I want to know best practice for using this mechanisms and determine which mechanism is better for which situation. Thanks in advance.
