Free: Not sure what to put here. I tried SMF once but wasn't that good. I also used invisionfree many years ago so maybe that counts.
Paid: IPB definately. Although I'm still using 2.3.6, I do the upgrades and installs myself and is tricky sometimes with some of the mods but it is still a very good software. I'm waiting on an arcade for 3.0+ before I upgrade.

Free: phpBB3 (not phpBB2 as that was pretty horrible)
Paid: IPB. Looks alot cleaner then vb in my opinion.

At the moment, I think MyBB is very comparable to vBulletin and IPB.
