Which shall be used, PayPal REST API SDK or Braintree Direct?

Hi,

 

I'm integrating credit card and PayPal payment methods on my site. First, I decided to go with REST API SDK of PayPal but then I noticed that PayPal stated this 'Important: The use of the PayPal REST /payments APIs to accept credit card payments is restricted. Instead, you can accept credit card payments with Braintree Direct.' on their site.

 

Please suggest me long term beneficial method.

It's sad that this question isn't answered. It's my question too.

 

paypal-rest-sdk is half backed with no documentation and not very useful.
 
I want a simple credit card transaction including tax & shipping, but this is impossible with paypal.
 
looking to try v2 of api, but it's half baked with calls being v1 & v2.
 
what are these guys thinking? what a scrambled mess.
