I mostly use iWork 09.
Keynote > * for presentation stuff. seriously, it's the one reason to get iWork and the one thing that makes people I show it to cry and ask for it on doze. It drops on powerpoint from a great height indeed.
Pages is acceptable for doing flyers etc. it's pretty good at 'DTP lite' - Not entirely sure I'll write a book with it tho.
Numbers is a bit weird and Object would probably cry if he saw it. but I get by.
I have Openoffice as well - V3 is a HUGE improvement - but would only use the wordpro/spreadsheet part of it.
Neooffice is another option - has been native Mac for ages but is highly based on Openoffice and now 3.x is native... not sure I'd bother.
Mac Office seems fine and certainly has the rep of being the best version of office for any O/S but: it costs... and - do NOT let Entourage do your email stuff for you. Last weekend I spent quite a few hours recovering a lost 12Gb 'mail store' for a friend. no fun. seriously.
