Use company tools for company work.
Actually I have some freedom to choose, including the relative expensive proprietary software. So in the essence my choice is rather moral one than obligatory.
The problem is that your tools are going to have to be compatible with other people's tools.
In that case, use whatever you prefer. The fact that you are even considering the morality of using OSS over proprietary means you actually want to steer away from the latter given the choice. The only questions remaining are: Will the OSS alternative allow you to do your work as efficiently and effectively as the proprietary one at the minimum? Will using the OSS alternative negatively affect others using proprietary software that you need to work with?
To answer the first question, I need to try the FOSS alternative. To the second matter, it seems that the choice will not affect others so far. Anyway, thanks!
