I like to create surveys and questionnaires, what would be a good \documentclass or package to use?

I don't think there is a predefined class for menus, but you can create you own format using any of the existing document classes; after all, the menu is a unique feature that identifies a restaurant.
Just as an idea (which admits many improvements), in the following example I used the web-O-mints fonts and the background package to create a frame that will be placed in all the pages of the menu. A simple tabular* environment was used to format each food group.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[textwidth=12cm,centering]{geometry}
\usepackage[x11names]{xcolor}
\usepackage{background}
\newcommand*\wb[3]{%
{\fontsize{#1}{#2}\usefont{U}{webo}{xl}{n}#3}}
% The page frame
\SetBgColor{Goldenrod3}
\SetBgAngle{0}
\SetBgScale{1}
\SetBgOpacity{1}
\SetBgContents{%
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node at (0.5\paperwidth,0) {\wb{80}{34}{E}\rule[60pt]{.2\textwidth}{0.4pt}%
\raisebox{55pt}{%
\makebox[.6\textwidth]{\ \fontsize{24}{29}\selectfont\scshape La Abuela }}%
\rule[60pt]{.2\textwidth}{0.4pt}\wb{80}{34}{F}};
\node at (2,-0.5\textheight) {\rule{0.4pt}{.8\textheight}};
\node at (19.5,-0.5\textheight) {\rule{0.4pt}{.8\textheight}};
\node at (0.5\paperwidth,-\textheight) {\wb{80}{34}{G}\rule[-10pt]{\textwidth}{0.4pt}\wb{80}{34}{H}} ;
\end{tikzpicture}%
}
% colorize text
\newcommand*\ColText[1]{\textcolor{Goldenrod3}{#1}}
% a tabular* for each food group
\newenvironment{Group}[1]
{\noindent\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{}p{.8\linewidth}@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r@{}}
{\fontsize{24}{29}\selectfont\ColText{#1}}\\[0.8em]}
{\end{tabular*}}
% to format each entry
\newcommand*\Entry[2]{%
\sffamily#1 & #2}
% to format each subentry
\newcommand*\Expl[1]{%
\hspace*{1em}\footnotesize #1}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{Group}{Entradas}
\Entry{Calamares de campo}{9.00} \\
\Expl{Aros muy finos de cebolla y pimiento verde, a nuestro estilo} \\
\Entry{Berenjenas a la cordobesa}{9.95} \\
\Expl{Finas lonchas de berenjenas rebozadas a la cordobesa acompañadas de salsa de miel} \\
\Entry{Huevos estrellados con chistorra}{10.50} \\
\Entry{Cecina de León}{10.70} \\
\Expl{Lonchas muy finas con aceite virgen extra y pimienta recién molida} \\
\end{Group}
\vfill
\begin{Group}{Ensaladas}
\Entry{Ensalada <<La Abuela>>}{9.20} \\
\Expl{Piña, manzana y pimiento rojo, con pollo recién asado y una sabrosa y ligera mayonesa} \\
\Entry{Ensalada mediterránea}{8.90} \\
\Expl{Lechuga, tomate, cebolla, atún, huevo duro. espárragos y aceitunas} \\
\Entry{Salpicón de pollo}{9.50} \\
\Expl{Pollo en tiras recién asado con manzana sobre lechuga en juliana, zanahoria rallada y rodajas de tomate, aliñado con una sorprendente y suave salsa de mostaza y yogurt} \\
\Entry{Ensalada de cabra}{10.70} \\
\Expl{Queso de cabra templado con mermelada de tomate sobre una variedad de lechugas frescas} \\
\end{Group}
\vfill
\begin{Group}{Carnes}
\Entry{Carpaccio de buey}{13.50} \\
\Expl{Acompañado de lascas de parmesano y rucuta} \\
\Entry{Parrillada ibérica}{16.70} \\
\Expl{Pluma, presa y secreto} \\
\Entry{Patatas con guarnición para acompañar}{3.75} \\
\Expl{Fritas caseras} \\
\Entry{Patatas con guarnición para acompañar}{3.50} \\
\Expl{Patatas paja} \\
\end{Group}
\end{document}
And here's the result:
A way is
\makeatletter
\@ifclassloaded{IEEEtran}{}{\usepackage{appendix}}
\makeatother
But I believe that documents written for submission should not have any reference to conflicting packages (and so tricks like this one). How would you use the commands provided by appendix if the document class is IEEEtran?

The AcroTeX bundle provides the eqExamn package.
D.P. Story (the AcroTeX author) has published a PracTeX article on the subject of creating surveys using TeX Producing a TeX/LaTeX Online Survey with the eqExam Package
