It depends on what you want. If it is simply to know what the "average" value is, then the mode may be the best in these circumstances. But if you want to do anything else - eg determine the spread of the data, or test any hypothesis about the data, you will be much better off with the mean. That is because the mean has been studied much more comprehensively than other measures of central tendency and its characteristics are incorporated into many statistical tests.
