For what I’ve used

requestAnimationFrame It is more for games or animations, it is like a set interval only that without problems with the difference of MS from one computer to another, came along with CSS3 and HTML5 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window/requestAnimationFrame

Setinterval is the method to perform an X-millisecond action http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp

Settimeout is the method that runs a method ONLY ONCE after X milliseconds http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_settimeout.asp

Depending on the animation it is good you use css3
