A simple data spreadsheet with trend charts in Numbers is 321Kb and the Excel version is 29Kb. I have a 2 page resume and the Pages format is 349Kb, while the Word file is only 21Kb. I keep many files in both formats just for redundancy. Onr other thing to consider may be file size too. At the very least, you should use a Word/Excel viewer to make sure your exports don't have weird formatting. DOCX and XLSX are the standard, like it or not, and I've had a lot of unexpected results exporting from iWork. Anything I do that must be shared, if it can't be done with PDF, must be done in Office formats. charts are better looking in Numbers but nothing can beat Excel for power and features. There's nothing I've done in Word that I can't easily replicate in Pages. The iWork apps are easier to use and easier on the eye, Pages especially.

So what I end up doing is using Pages whenever I can, Office 2008 if I'm making quick changes on collaborative documents and Office 2007 running under Parallels whenever I need to work with Visio documents. Just in case you need to embed any of those into your documents. Oh and Office 2008 isn't compatible with Visio 2007 documents either.

Plus Microsoft has acknowledged that their floating Formatting palette (basically the most important toolbox you'll use all the time) is incompatible with Spaces (it gets stuck on a space, so you'll switch to Word and Spaces will go to an empty space with just the formatting palette) and MS isn't going to fix it until the next major version of Office.

Office 08 is just so cluttered and inefficient to work with, it's incredible. This may sound like MS bashing, but it's really not.

Having said that, Office 2008 has been such a huge nightmare to work with (both in terms of speed and in general usability), I try to avoid it whenever possible. Minor glitches, but if you're going back and forth with multiple document revisions, it's a pain. If I'm collaborating with others, then importing into iWork will be fine mostly, but something minor might get messed up (table formatting changed, image location moved etc). I just export it as a word document or PDF, make sure the formatting is intact and it's fine. If it's a paper or document that I'm the only person working on, using Pages (iWork) is never an issue. I have both and I'm also a student, so here's my experiences:
