That would depend on what you need to do with the info. For example, if you want the data available to multiple users, then a DB is the way to go. If it is a single user, and the net graph is the only thing you store, then XML may be the best.

There is also the footprint: XML is a large(ish) text file, but small support environment, DB would be the other way around. XML support requires no extra intallation, DB does. Etc., etc., etc.!

It will depend on your data and circumstances, I'm afraid.
