I've tried both... ended up with InvisionBoard.

I voted no preference, but thats only because I cant decide, both have their pluses and minuses, invisionboard looks and in my opinion works better than phpbb but phpbb has much much better support, like on another forum I'm on which uses phpbb they installed a image attachment addon which works extremely well.

Just try both out and see for yourself which one you like to work with

I don't know about phpBB support, but the InvisionBoard forums are pretty active and there are a ton of mods to download.

I like phpbb, good support and a easy install. lots of different skins available. And it is Open source, modify it any way you want with no restrictions.

phpbb is very good also, hacks at phpbbhacks.com and also at phpbb under mods.

Which integrates best with a CMS (PostNuke)?

Rossman, I don't know which integrates better, but it seems that the PostNuke website uses phpBB for its own forums.

If you're looking for a forum to use with a Dathorn.com account, I think Dathorn.com accounts come with an option to automatically install phpBB for you in the CPanel under Tools, but you probably already knew that. 🙂
