Quite a few SOAP engines don't support rpc/literal, therefore doc/literal (wrapped or unwrapped) is a better idea than rpc/literal. I generally recommend using wrapped doc/literal for best interop and easiest development and configuration. Note that .NET supports wrapped doc/literal by default.

Unfortunately, I did not find in this spec any clear statement saying
that "document" (in a wrapped style) is preferred to "rpc".
However, you will find many articles that say "document" is preferred to "rpc".
