VBulletin or PHPBB?

[M O]

I'd like to start a small forum which has nothing to do with adult but it's going to be about my aviation related hobbies.

Searching the web and reading techie's forums it looks like that everybody says: " go with VBulletin if you can spend the money "

$ 180.00 for VBulletin is not a big deal and i won't mind to pay it.

Beside the fee which gives you updates, support via email,etc, is Vbulletin developed better than PHPBB?

What do you suggest?
