Good Luck
*btw, additional comments welcome*
Anyway, I like Jaia Interactive (aka Daniel Murdoch), which has the MyTopix forum software, which t0t4lly pwnz.
SMF has more features than any forum software, note I said features, not bloat.
SMF has just went 1.1, so if you didnt like 1.0.X, then I urge you to try 1.1 its a completely different barrel of bricks, and has a lot more features.
Theres an influx of themes just about to be released and probably some of the best ones we've seen before.
The mod community is growing by leaps and bounds, just give it a little more time.
And converting from any software, is possible if you can get the database. The developers have put a huge push into this.
If not, would you willing to hear me out about SMF? I know I can prove SMF is secure, fast and very clean and can be skinned however you like it. And im more than happy to sit for hours on a messenger, talking on and on.
Im sure youll find, there are many easier than phpBB and have more features.

why? It's bcause it's faster than any board I've ever used. Plus, it's opensourced under the GPL!

The reason I'm going with SMf is that from an Admins view it is simple to install, change to from any other type of board, easy to maintain, and has lots of mods that can be EASILY applied.
The number of people that mod for this board system is amazing, and the number of "skins" is mind boggaling. Also IMO it is one of the least, if not the least, bloated forum on the market, paid for or not.
When it comes to the mods available you have a lot of different options that can add some real cool options to your board. Combine the mods with the different skins and although you may run SMF you can customize it to a point that can make it almost unique to your site.
From a users point of view, I have yet to have any complaints from any of my Sites members, other then the fact that I keep messing around with it and make it unusable from time to time.
From an install stand point its real easy too, and very straight forward. Also the Simple Machines site has a Community Forum that will has all the info you will ever need to correct any problem you may have, also there are a few people here on Astahost that know alot about SMF and can help you correct any problem you may have, or in my case create.
Though, I think IGN's Snowboards are the best!
