I have done both, on multiple projects, and here is my take:

  • If you just want to deliver content to the user (text, images, microblogs, ... etc) then PWA is definitely the way to go, your PWA will get more hits since you can apply SEO to it and you will have larger audience, (Desktop + Mobile users).
  • If you need to have access to low level hardware capabilities to get better performance for a game or 3D project for example, then you should go native.

Note: PWA (thanks to html5 capabilities) have access to some hardware API such as Camera and mic.
