I have heard they’re the main two choices for FOSS enthusiasts. What are their pros and cons?

I have used LibreOffice so far and I’m very impressed with the ui as it is much more visually appealing than IWork and Microsoft Office.

IIRC it wasn't just worry that Oracle would do bad, it was Oracle's slowness/reluctance at incorporating patches and fixes, and that they were making OpenOffice unnecessarily dependent on Oracle's Java.
