I'm not sure of the answer, but in general I'd say if you're
interested in out-of-sample predictive accuracy, you should try to find
something analogous to AIC.  R^2/deviance only tell you how well your
model fits to a specific set of data ...

Hi,
According to Kneib & Greven (biometrika 2010)

? the corrected version of the conditional AIC was developed exactly with the goal of allowing for sensible model selection in mixed models. For the marginal AIC we did not find a proper correction, so we would in general not recommend this in its current form. ?

? We have recently developed an R package called cAIC4 (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cAIC4/index.html) that should be a good starting point (also beyond Gaussian mixed effects models). ?
