Hi, It depends a lot on what you want to do. Notes is mostly just for short notes. It’s syncs with your i-devices, so is great for keeping track of things like books people mention, grocery lists, etc.
Pages is a full-blown word-processor much like Word. It will give you all the capabilities you would find in Word. I also use Text Edit a lot for files that either only require simple formatting or are just for my use. It’s very simple to use, and great if you are just working with a text file that doesn’t have a lot of complicated formatting, use of tables, etc. Lastly, there is also Office 365 for Mac. I don’t use it because it requires a subscription, but if you don’t mind that, I’ve heard good things. Any of the above choices are fine, depending on what your needs are. If you need a lot of complex formatting, or if you share Word files regularly with others, than Pages or Office 365 are your best bet. For simpler tasks, Text Edit Works great.
