I've tried all of them. phpBB, most, SMF, most, MyBB, least.

However, I believe, IMO, phpBB is the superior.

MyBB is really a great software and really easy to use but at the same time its a really powerful script. phpBB is a pain when it comes to installing plugins.

 

[MR.KiDO]

phpBB it really depends on the taste.

phpbb => robust, but not for noobs or newbies, it's pain is ass for installing plugins/mods [you need to manually edit all], yes for removing too.
i switched to mybb, because everyday you have to do something in phpbb to make it work correctly.

Mybb => noob friendly and due to it's active support possible it's the #1, easy to install/uninstall mods.
(MAIN THING = server friendly too, very less load + less requests compared to other scripts)

smf => not used, so don't know about it

MY VOTE : mybb
