With resteems if I see them and think they look interesting I’ll check them out .
Mentions I always check out , sometimes not straight away as I have a lot on, but I always get back to them.
Also if I have time to browse my feed I will see resteems . But if I don’t then I will just miss them.
Using Partiko though I get notifications constantly and among them are mentions.
And I will check them out when I have time to do so.
So I would say mentions are more effective to get a persons attention.
However mass posting of mentions is frowned upon by the community and seen as spamming users for rewards . So I would not recommend doing this.
Mentions for people actually mentioned in the post is what I would recommend.
Your current method of messaging through the steem wallet is to be honest probably the most effective method I have seen .
It would be very time consuming on your part though . Not to mention the constant stream of steem flowing out.
You do an awesome job promoting others .
Have an awesome day!
