The only reasons I can think of to use RDF/XML are: 1. it's the only one which is formally standardised (what's keeping Turtle?); 2. it's easier to generate from XML using a stylesheet, even though the RDF/XML syntax is sufficiently confusing that this is still a rather mind-bending experience; or 3. you want to fill your audience with a sense of horrified awe. If you have to generate RDF/XML from Turtle for some reason, then tools like rapper from librdf.org are very useful.
