VBulletin is definately the Forum Software i would use, i also recommend it dearly. Basically because it's easier to use and efficient when managing the place. The buying cost depending on what license you go for, i would easily buy your own license which is now going for $160 without vat (I think they have a special offer on) so its just a one time fee of that, or you could have a yearly license of $90/80 can't remember, which is obviously a lot dearer in the long run.

I purchased a lifetime license quite a few years ago, I tried contacting them a little over a year ago now about adding the update service to my lifetime license and changing some information associated with my account. They never got back to me, even after multiple attempts! Lifetime license huh? Yeah sure!

did you pay for that? i can't remember if you had to or not. Something like $30 a year for updates etc...?

I'm using IPB 2.0 for my site www.4soccer.org

But I much prefer phpbb, it's much easier to add scripts.

Well, I let my first year run out since my forum didn't go anywhere, I was going to launch another site using that license but couldn't get the latest version since I didn't have the update subscription on my account. So then of course I tried contacting support but didn't get anywhere. I might try again sometime.

My forum uses vBulletin, and I find vB to be the best forum software.

I run my forum with vB 3.5.3 and I love it. Not many complaints about it, very good software overall.
