Surely it fully depend on current task requirements.
Also i forgot to remind that strings in OOXML spreadsheets can be
"packed" into "shared strings" file. Very annoying feature.

XQuery is better for this task - you can try eXist

I would question that. In the work I have done with XML exported from MSWord
and Excel, I needed to make extensive use of XSLT 2.0 grouping facilities,
which have no direct equivalent in XQuery - the only way to achieve the same
effect in XQuery requires heavy use of recursive functions, which many users
find difficult to master.
