Whether Mongo is the best choice or not totally depends on your use case - what does your app do ... without knowing the use case it's impossible to say if Mongo is the best choice. In my experience, in most cases it isn't, but for a certain class of cases it might be. So the answer is "it depends". But well, "huge amount of joins" - even when your data model has just a dozen joins/relations then an RDBMS may already have the edge, from an ease of use point of view.
