In my understanding ntpdate is now deprecated in favor of being rolled into ntpd itself. So it should really not be used anymore. Also, in my understanding, rdate is a one time thing when you execute it. And must be put into a cron job to constantly keep your clock accurate. Whereas ntpd is a daemon that can be started and kept running. Doing the work of keeping your clock accurate automatically as it interogates time servers for you. Hope that helps.
