I'm interested for using markdown markup and typeset such documents via ConTeXt, but wonder whether it is recommended to use Markdown module or do markdown --> ConTeXt via Pandoc?
For obvious reasons, the built in markdown module is faster than calling pandoc but I prefer using pandoc rather than the markdown module for two reasons. First, pandoc provides many extensions to the basic markdown syntax which I use frequently and second pandoc has better documentation. Markdown is a loosely specified standard and sometimes it can be tricky to figure out how to get a particular behavior.
So, if you are planning to use markdown for simple documents then go with the markdown module but if you have more complicated document structure, use pandoc. If you use the filter module then you can easily switch back and forth between the two markdown "backends" without changing your source.
