vBulletin - Very good, attracts people, but bulky imo.
MyBB - Also very good, but for some reason, it turns people away.
LiteBulletin - MyBB with a vB like skin and plugins. Soon will be just MyBB with plugins and a new skin.
SimpleMachines - Very nice, I just think it looks out of date.
phpBB - I don't like it, not one bit.
IPB - 3.0.x is so sexy, and so easy to use.
PunBB - Meh, it's okay, nothing special.
UltraBB - In no way worth 99 bucks.
XMB - See PunBB.

So to answer your question, IPB.

I don't consider Zetaboards a forum software, as they only host it, and will never release it to the public to host for themselves.

Nope, it's just owned by the same company who originally started InvisionFree. ZetaBoards was a completely new software written from the ground up.
Thanks for clearing that up, I forgot. ^^

And Zetaboards claims that ZB won't be released for download because:
1. Security reasons, they don't want people to know the exploits.
2. Some of it's features use non-standard server software, which in all honesty I doubt, I see nothing to that effect.
