If you want to support documentation for multiple products, content reuse (in a more efficient manner than copy&paste) becomes desirable. If that's the case, a tool like Author-it fits your requirements: multiple output formats including PDF and HTML, proper book formatting (TOC, index, etc), highly customizable styles.

Its collaboration features are structured a bit differently from the Google Docs model: one author can work on a piece of text at a time, but that piece of text can be small (one section). The writer sets up a review workflow where others can comment, but not directly change the source. This prevents edit wars and screwing up painstakingly-written content by amateurs.

What sets it apart from the usual office collaboration tools is the ability to reuse content from single sentences to entire chapters. This saves a lot of time if you create documentation for multiple products.
