How do I recommend SMF over vBulletin?
SpilltheBeans:
vBulletin is the number 1 forum software despite their "high price", and it is a good piece of software. The big knock on it is that it has high server load, but you can tweak it to be better, such as removing the "users viewing" stats.
The way I would look at it is, does SMF do everything you think your community will need to do? If yes, why pay for something you don't need. If no, then get vBulletin. What feature in vBulletin will you need?
The website in my sig has SMF and vBulletin if you want to play with each.
