"te conviene no hablar"
"mas te vale no hablar" (this is a little more street talk)
"convendria que te abstuvieras de hablar"
It would be in your best interest is "seria de tu mejor interes" but it doesn't really make much sense in spanish

I agree with carlospv, I would say:
te convendrÃa no hablar/ mas te vale no hablar/ seria mejor que te abstuvieras de hablar

EstarÃa en tu mejor interés de refrenarse de hablar.

"estarÃa en su mejor interés de abstenerse de hablar"
That is my best idea of how you would say it. Most likely not an exact translation.
"It would be better if you didn't speak" is "SerÃa preferible si usted no habló" approximately.

carlospv is right, in Spanish "It would be in your best interest" has no sense, so it cannot be translated word for word.
Te convendrÃa abstenerte de hablar.
Te convendrÃa no hablar.
