It depends on your needs, use the wizard;

http://www.forummatrix.org/wizard.php

Not a fan of that wizard. It seems to just ask "Do you want a bad software or an okay software". In the end the optimal results you can get are "phpBB, MyBB, and SMF" which are the only logical choices in the first place. I want a wizard to tell me which of those I need, not that I need one of those.

It happens, KG, I do that quite often sometimes. Especially if my mind is buggered.

Back on topic.

Yeah, I saw that too. Though it narrows it down a little bit, it would have been nice if it narrowed it down more. (ex. Do you plan on having a gallery? Do you want a tracker? Do you want an arcade?)

I think

Best free:
Phpbb
Mybb

Best Paid
IP.Board
Vb

The reason I hate SMF and don't recommend it is because the install script is bugged. No other software gives you an internal server error when you finish the install.

Paid: vBulletin (3.x)/IP.Board 🙂
Free: MyBB/phpBB
