i personally think SMF is the better one of the 2, but if i had my choice, i'd rather be using Invision Power Board (which i do use) or vBulletin

My choice: phpBB. About popularity: google gives 10x more hits for phpBB, that is 268 milions.

I personally appreciate both, but to me, phpbb forums seem more professional, and also more orginised. but thats all in the mod and thier skills... but still i appreciate all forums.

My favorite between those two options is phpBB. My favorite forum type overall is vBulletin, I know it isn't free but it offers so many options and is so customizable that it rocks.

On a side note, Is it possible to have quick reply enabled for this forum?

I love the PHPBB, it is a complete forum sistem.
I like the administration panel. But lately I'm using the Invision Power Board(IPB) it is a great forum sistem too.

Personally, I think SMF is better because it has many features such as auto mod editing, mod updating, checks file versions, error logs, moderation logs, configable template, post requirments. And it keeps going on. So give me your opion on this.

I prefer IPB and vBulletin.phpBB is very vulnearble.IPB too is vulnearble but is eaysier than vBulletin and better than phpBB.But IPB and vBulleti are not free.If you want to be free -SMF is your choise.
