If I'm choosing something to roll-out across an entire business, I want to have training material that everyone can use. I want to have files that everyone can open, view and edit in exactly the same way.
I don't want my helpdesk wasting time because person A has OpenOffice and person B has LibreOffice and they behave every so slightly differently.

I was implying "Why do you need to choose,
when you can have both?"
If there are differences between the two now or in the future, using both makes most sense. One has better menu options, while the other can open more file formats? Just use both. Train people for both. Tell them that files for one activity are to be opened with OpenOffice and files for another activity are to be opened with LibreOffice. If the best option changes with the next software update, you don't have to choose between using the lesser option or training everyone to use the other program, because they are already trained in both.
