I am looking at ADK and TinyPortal... Which one uses less system resources and has the most features.  It needs to look very clean.

The best portal is the one who will feed all your needs/expectations   why don't you install both in local and decide after you had checked both?

AFAIK there is no benchmarks on any SMF portal system, of course this will depend on your server configurations among other things.

Well .. I can't find that portal on the SMF mod site .. it's approved by SMF?

Ultimate Portal was submitted and rejected.

If the mods take weeks to be reviewed not want to think how long it takes to approve a portal that has a lot more code
however the portal is not in the mod site does not mean they do not exist and consider

the portal was denied in 2010, it is not a new mod that is still in queue or similar processes.

usually if a mod is denied to be part of the mod site that means they have some issues in coding or security that makes it so that is not good enough for the team to approve and they think others should not use it.

I belong to the staff of UP, the portal does not resent the reason I said above, the code is greatly improved and there were several new versions since that of 2010.
My reasons for this participation is not to fight for what is the best portal, just say you should not underestimate the work we not only because the site mod

Getting off topic and the original questions have not been addressed. Sorry to say, I cannot address the first two. Though as for features you should install each on local test installs, I use XAMPP to install on my Windows machine and it is very easy to do. As far as looking clean, I can't speak for ADK but I have used TinyPortal and it gives the option to turn off the headers and such on blocks, and a huge variety of options for displaying articles.

However, whether or not it looks clean is really up to the theme. TinyPortal uses standard themes, with no alterations needed. There are some really good clean themes available if you look for them.
