I used to give my boys mirrors for the following reasons.

1. Gives them some exercise
2. Relieves boredom
3. Photography purposes

Shouldn't be present at all times though, as it will cause them stress and discomfort.

it is actually good for them to flare for around 10 mins a day or so...gives them exercise, keeps their fins straight and lets them be bettas. also a good way to interact with your fish WITHOUT feeding them...all too often these guys are over fed which causes problems. there is no harm in using a mirror with them...just make sure it is not present all the time as someone else pointed out.
cheers
