Personally, I use Pages. I have it installed on all my Macs, so it was a simple decision.

The only syncing I truly need is either output as a .txt or .pdf; or perhaps google docs functionality.
I don't have a mac (sadly! I want an MBA if the iPad doesn't turn out being good enough for what I need, but I will wait to see the specs on the Ivy Bridge releases whenever they get pushed before deciding either way.), and on my Nokia E71x I tend to compose notes in the native email app and send them to myself. I'm given to understand that most apps have copy-paste support? I can always do it that way still, at the very least.
The T1 uses some extremely odd XML format to do their notes, and with that I've been saving it to my Ubuntu desktop and extracting raw text using gedit.
I didn't even think about syncing functionality. This makes me wonder if there's a good app for writing with USB syncing. I know most of the big ones advertise dropbox syncing, but that would be a waste of the MBs and my transfer limit is, as mentioned, tight.
