Hi, I'm looking to install an office alternative, I know neooffice is based on open office, and I know openoffice is working on an "aqua" version. which of these is my best bet? Or is there another?

I do not have any recent experience with any.

thanks.

I love using NeoOffice, except for the periodic error message. NeoOffice is carbonized, unlike the Mac version of OpenOffice, which uses X11. OpenOffice is trying to release a Carbonized version (they consider it "Aqua"

Open office has some more recent builds of some things that Neo office lacks. Unless you absolutely need something in the latest version of Open, it's Neo all the way.
