As someone who is currently developing a specification for a
SOAP
based service: Much more lightweight, both at runtime and at
development time. OTOH, SOAP nowadays offers you very nice
tool
support. An extreme example: A tool sold by my employer
allows you to
create a fully blown Ajax-GUI by simply using web services
and without
a single line of Java or JavaScript code. For example, all
buttons are
mapped to web service calls, which you do select from a
list.

Personally, I do prefer XML-RPC, in particular for the
initial steps.
However, for a publicly available application with more
than, say, 10
operations, I would nowadays recommend SOAP.
