Pages IMHO (its a part of iWork). Neo Office is good if you want something opensource.

Signature depreciated.

It depends on what you need out of your word processor.

Before the release of iWork '08, I would have said Melell, but, now that we have a new version of Pages, it takes the cake, hands down.

Since we're playing that game, Scrivener is the best.

LaTeX with XeTeX outputs the most beautiful documents, imho. but its really a typesetter and not a word processor...so id have to say,
MS Word.

pages is probably a good bet.

You should also give a look to Nisus Writer Pro, the user interface is quite nice.
For me, the `best' word processor is still LaTeX, but its main focus is on scientific publications and books.

The new Pages is great, and for $79 you also get Keynote (a spectacular app) and Numbers (young, but fairly useful and very intuitive).
