Just a quicky.... VBulletin over PHPBB - Why?

I was just about to install PHPbb and was wondering if I should pay for VBulletin instead...... I know VBul can handle large sites (GFY for example) but I see a few PHPbb site that are abut the same size.

Why should I fork out for VB?

What are the pros and cons?

Thanks

If you have 20 boards go with phpBB, if you have one go with VB.

Interesting trivia - They are about 60 times bigger than GFY according to the big-boards stats.

But have a similar Alexa rank (2,033 and 2,518) - how many surfers do we get on here!?

I personally like PhpBB, it works great. I've seen too many Vbulletin which seems to constantly exhibits that nasty database error once in a while. Seen that on over 5 different sites at least a few times a month.

Funny but true. The irony that the product you pay for is buggier than the one that's free just kills me --

i think that webmasters would have a higher percentage of the alexa toolbar installed then surfers.. could be wrong but that would account for the alexa ranking

I think vBulletin has better SEO features built in.

phpBB is nice, it's a security nightmare though.
The code is not very good.

They're saying they'll fix that for the next version though.
