Having extensive experience with both for many years I can say that with some decent preparation work you can generate documents with LibreOffice that rivals LaTeX output and layout. I have created such document templates with OpenOffice a couple years back. I can search my hard drives and see if I still have those around, if that might help.

I remember the OpenOffice organization had brilliant documentation and guides in generating such document templates, but as the LibreOffice project gain popularity the websites hosting the original OpenOffice documents and guides disappeared one by one.

On a side note:
  OpenOffice (and I guess now LibreOffice) also have impressive
  mathematical formulae support. I wouldn’t instantly dismiss it.
  We used those in a prior company I worked for.

From what I’ve seen [2-3 years ago] there is none that really does a good job.
