Both are good softwares, although if you want precision with MS Office documents, you might be better off with Microsoft Office. Open up OpenOffice with MS Office documents and you might get errors and different formatting.

For your question, I'd say, Microsoft Office is better in terms of functions, but for free, you definitely should get OpenOffice.

Basically, there is not much different.
Just that you need time to used to it.
Try play with it, then you will know edi.

Why don't you try it yourself and see whether you like it or not.
Most Linux distro came with OpenOffice.
If you using Windows, you can download copy easily from http://www.openoffice.org
