phpBB vs. vBulletin

[Lapras]

Hello, I use phpBB and I am thinking about switching to vBulletin I am not very concerned about the price of the forum, or the bandwidth amounts required but, I am interested in the Admin Features, how easy it is to install, security,and most importantly how much space it will take up vs. phpBB. I don't have a lot of members now but for future expansion I don't wan't to go beyond 250mb including the software itself. So that is my predicament (that is because I am very aware of how much space a have at any given time) can anyone offer advice?

If you got the money, go for vBulletin. vB is the best for now.

vB is so much better, I would pay for just the hacks! I would pay for just the template system. So customisable and easy to use!!

A very good buy

But you can get a vb clone for free! Like the other free boards, they have what it takes to overtake vb!

IBResource is next biggest to vBulletin.org. Considering the time span vBulletin has been around, IBR being second is an accomplishment of itself.
