I'm working on some reports, which need will need to be formatted in
several different formats. What are some of the recommendations for or
against using DocBook XML over a regular XML Document?

Thanks.

There's no such thing as "regular XML."

If you have a particular DTD or schema in mind as an alternative to
DocBook, then name it.

If you haven't, then either:

a) You're making up your own, in which case it is "your custom
Schema," and not a "regular XML document," or

b) You're totally lost, and DocBook, being something reasonably
concrete, should certainly be your choice to bring order out of
chaos.
