XML is a good choice for the small amount of data. Because, XML is so simple, it is very easy to use or port data to other applications. It also, has some limitations in terms of data querying capabilities, speed and reliability. For example, if you will need to later add freetext search, aggregation report,.. or you need to handle concurrent request, the database will be a better choice. Its probably a good idea to learn them both at some point.
