I find sending a .PDF file and the .ODT source file is sufficient for most tasks. Sending a .PDF is usually a good idea in any case -- there isn't much commonality between out-of-the-box fonts between Windows and Linux so .ODT files often don't render well on other people's machines.

When people want a .DOC file I send the .ODT as well, with a short note explaining that the .DOC file is an export of the .ODT OpenDocument source file.
