It's not really an either-or question. You need and use both for writing unit and integration tests with Spring Boot.

When writing unit tests to verify, e.g. a business logic in isolation, you can solely rely on JUnit and Mockito.

Depending on how you define the word unit, you might also include tests that use Spring Boot Test slice annotations (e.g. @WebMvcTest) as unit tests. In such cases, you also work with Mockito as you mock other collaborators with @MockBean (annotation from Spring Boot, which creates a Mockito mock).

It might make sense to start with this overview of testing Spring Boot applications.
