Anyone ever run 3/4 or 1" PVC coated RGS underground? Bend or use factory elbows? Have about 7 separate location single runs.

Yes. It takes special shoes to bend or an use EMT shoes in a bender.
You can use an over sized hand bender, or the manufacturer usually recommends using an electric bender with the appropriate shoes. You're in NJ so you can easily rent what you need. I guess it depends on how many bends you're going to be making.

I would bend in lieu of using manufactured elbows which will require threading.

I've run similar conduits but it was called ocal, very expensive stuff, we used it on reclaimed water projects. Used a Chicago bender on the 1 - 1/4 and I believe rigid hand benders on the 3/4 to 1/2. everything thread had to be copper coated. Crazy process but an amazing product.
I doubt I'll ever use it again in the sort of work I normally do these days.
