For sending out emails in Restful based apps are people still generating  
mailers or are their new best practices?

Generating email is typically based on occurrence of some event. So  
observer  
is used with to send out mails using mailers. A client does not usually  
request an email to be received as a resource. No, there are no new best  
practices.
