Hi,
We don't have to choose one. If we provide one format via OOo then we can
provide all popular formats(pdf, doc, docx, odf). The cost of exporting
extra formats is quite low.
Thanks,

Why not use the opportunity to export to DOC instead/in addition of RTF.
It would be only support the DOC export param and add/replace one menu
to show DOC.
We used RTF only because FOP only did RTF while what we really want is
DOC

Supporting .doc is a bit, well, late. I'm saying this because .docx
should be the new and improved version, so a more relevant format would
be .docx (Office Open XML). However, even Microsoft recognized that
OOXML lost the battle with ODF, and the future format which will be
supported by most tools seems to be ODF.
And, in addition, .doc is a binary, proprietary and secret format, and
we try to encourage open and/or standard formats.
Yet, a large share of XWiki users are still using older versions of the
MS Office suite, which makes .doc almost mandatory...
