User reviews is an area where the Internet shines.
I was considering upgrading from Office for Mac 2004 to Office for Mac 2008. These reviews turned me off the idea. Some even suggested that it is best to stay with 2004 than to upgrade. It seems like I'll be going with iWork 2009 instead.

I use office 2008 for mac. I dont like it much, but as a student i need it for some compatibility things. iWork 09 is a far superior product for most people and highly recommend it. Office just has a ton of bugs, random crashes, and works really badly with spaces to the point where i had to turn spaces off :(
The reviews are right. Office 2008 is horrible.
Try openoffice.org It's open source and really stable.
If you think OpenOffice will work for you, then I suggest using the NeoOffice variant. neooffice.org
I'm a heavy excel user and found numbers in iWork to be unWorkable. For example, there is no support for range formulas, which would break about 40% of my stuff.
I've been happy with OpenOffice, but I feel like it just runs slow for a native OS X app. Anyone else get that while using it?
I miss pivot tables from Numbers in iWork. It's spreadsheet-lite.
