That’s a complex question, which relies on the partners you want to exchange data with.
Advantages to PEPPOL is that it’s a standard, so if you can create a PEPPOL invoice you can basically send the same document to all receivers in the PEPPOL network, however there are some country specific differences you need to be aware of. Disadvantages for PEPPOL is that it’s not very flexible so there can be business scenarios you are not able to handle.
EDIFACT on the other hand is much more flexible, but you cannot in the same way send the same EDIFACT document to all your partners without some modifications.
Basically it all comes down to what format your partners are using today.
