    all the leading forums in my niche use vbulletin - seems like they are the true market leader....

    They are,
    and it also looks like more and more people get so used to it that they feel somehow unfonfortable signing up on a non-vbulletin forum.

    Hmm, could not find anything on phpbb3 so far.
    A few sites that seem to be official placeholders for phpbb3 are down. So what do you know that makes it sound so good?

    You have quoted 2 content management systems, while vB and phpBB are forum scripts :)

    nothing comes close to VB, invision power board is kinda nice though, its slightly more user friendly and the admincp looks better

    go with vbulletin though, they are good people it seems to me, always lots of support

    vbulletin is easy to use - lot of mods/plugins... Better security ofcourse..
    So go for vbulletin.

    Vbul all the way if you can afford it. If you can't I would go with smf. It's much better than phpBB

    Although vBulletin is a paid option it's worth the money, their support is excellent and there are always updates with vBulletin. I'm currently using vBulletin for my forums and I couldn't be happier with the way it works.

    If I were you I'd stay away from phpBB, there are many bugs and exploits as well as security issues all the time!

    Another vote for vBulletin. Tried switching to SMF some time ago, and realised that was a bad move. So vBulletin.
