I want something that mainly looks good and is flexible - but costs nothing.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have no experience with PHP so I have no idea if my school's server supports it. I can either set up something with CGI or have it hosted remotely. Either way is fine by me; in fact, I'm feeling lazy so hosted remotely sounds good right now ;).

Technical question - how do I know if I want the CGI version or PL version of YaBB?

AFAIK, there isn't that big of a difference...I'm using the cgi version myself. Probably better to just go with cgi, cause more servers are compatble.
