I don't want to go opening too large a can of worms here, but is open
source a hard requirement? Is it for philosophical or economic
reasons? If purely the latter, you may find it turns out to be a
false economy. I can only vouch for XEP in terms of the commercial FO
formatters (it's the only one I own), but you should recoup the cost
of a single user license fairly rapidly, if only in time saved working
around parts of the specification unimplemented in the open source
tools.
