phpbb : good coz free
vbulletin : good coz lots of addon (include vbSEO)
ipb : familiar one
but the last both is pay, but if u wanna use ipb and want to get it free search on google the 1.3 version is free

There is no such thing as "the best", what are you realy looking for ?
Do you want to be secure, no hackers and script kiddies ? then use something that is used by small amount of web sites, some unknown msg board.
If you are looking for a lot of themes, mods, hacks... and stuff like that, take phpbb or maybe IPB.
Small msg boards can be easy integrated with your page stile, and are easyer for some people to understand.
anyway test those forums at

you can login as admin and try everything.

IPB and vB are great forums but they are paid
but phpbb is also good forum but its free
phpbb 2 lacks the features that are present in IPB or vB
But phpbb 3 has all the features.
