Nisus Writer and Pages are 2 both extremely well thought out and well written pieces of software but its horses for courses here, try them and see which one you like best, I like them both.
I bought Nisus Writer long before Pages was as accessible as it is now. I like Open Office as well and I also like Bean, that's a very basic word processor but - given the fact its available to you for absolutely no charge whatever - it is a true give away.
