From my experience OpenPDF is better at formatting and layout. PDFBox is a lot lower level.
OpenPDF [1]:
document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
PDFBox [2]:
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.setFont( font, 12 );
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount( 100, 700 );
contentStream.drawString( "Hello World" );
contentStream.endText();
