Always send back docx/xlsx/pptx as doc/xls/ppt. All flavours of Microsoft Office fully support any of these heritage file formats and this office suite can handle them much better. There is no technical reason to share docx with users of MS Office.
I fear that's not entirely true. There are some facilities in later versions of Microsoft Office which can be saved in .docx etc. formats but not in .doc etc. formats. If your correspondents are making use of these facilities, that content will be lost if you convert their documents to the older file formats.
