Trying to figure out the best options for note taking. Now that there's OneNote for OS X it seems like a good idea, but there is reduced functionality in the Mac version (no custom tags, can't send to Word, etc.) Also how does one outline in this? Seems there's only bullet points and numbers available.

Looking for suggestions

Never understood the need for fancy note-taking apps, personally. Google Docs always worked fine in class for me, and Word more than does the trick when it comes to transforming your notes into outlines.

Just IME and IMO.

yeah, i started with word docs, then jumped to omnioutliner (and tried another), then just went right back to word

I'm planning on using Notebook by Circus Ponies. I believe there's a guide in the TLS Content Competition forum. It seems pretty good so far, but I haven't tried OneNote so I can't compare.

If your prof permits electronic outlines, nothing beats one note on test day

Have heard good things about Evernote as well.
