Between work and home, I use Office '97, 2000 and Open Office. I'd say Open Office 1.1.3 is almost to the level of Office 2000. Some features are better, especially for Word. If Word is your focus for a suite, I'd just go with Open Office.
I've not used Thunderbird (I use a PocketPC and have to use Outlook) but have several friends who use it and rant and rave about it.
