I would say Markdown if you are collaborating with someone not familiar

Excellent summary.
the pandoc version of ...? org->markdown->pandoc->word?
The opinion is mine (I don't want Eric embarrassed by my opinions!!).
The pandoc version of Markdown is what I meant. And I definitely prefer
org-mode, but the context was one of collaboration with someone who has
never used Emacs. I had no hope of converting him from Word to
Emacs/org-mode, but he was happy with Markdown. The text was simply
enough that none of the complexities that you mention below arose.
Also, on export to Word: my export path actually was org -> LaTeX ->
LibreOffice. The last step uses a special script that is part of the
tex4ht (I even got the name wrong before) package: oolatex.
For some reason, the Debian Jessie package does not install oolatex on
the PATH. On my system it is installed at /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex.
oolatex will pause periodically, at least on a long manuscript. Restart
by typing 'x'.

i think a major feature would be working with internal links. so
you'd export a subtree, and links to locations in the subtree would be
supported. does markdown do that?
also, org-export-with-tasks can't be supported by pandoc, because
presumably it doesn't go off and inspect your .emacs, but can it
support the properties drawer equivalent?
