Which writing app do you like best for the iPad?

Pages is ok, but I wish it was more responsive in some way. Some something things, even like page numbers, seem to be impossible, or I get every page marked either 1 or 548 for a book I am writing.

Doc2 HD is ok, too, as is Office2 HD. But they too have limitations.

QuickOffice is clean, handles a lot of formats, and is easy to use. (then again, they all are.)

MyWriting tries to be dedicated to writing articles and books, and offers an easy sync with home, but the real strength seems to be in offering a thesaurus and dictionary in the same program. I kinda like using OED (now no longer supported but still nice)

What I want is an app that lets me use blue tooth keyboard if I wish, but that provides easy access and editing without one, if I dont want a two piece laptop to lug. So far, Quickoffice seems the best.
