I use LibreOffice because it tends to get some nifty features a little
quicker, though I don't really have anything against OpenOffice.org.
I've found that if stability is a concern then you're best waiting
until the third digit in any release hits 2 (e.g. x.y.2), then it's
generally pretty rock solid.

I had a brief look at 4.0.0 when it was released on OS X, but realised
how much I'd have to customise it again to get things back the way I
prefer (I've played around with 3.almost.everything for a while now).
