I think ITHosting hit it right on the head!
vBulletin, phpBB and Invision Board are all resource friendly, easy to use forums. vBulletin is a little more configurable than the others, but in my eyes phpBB (especially with the $0 pricetag) is an equally impressive piece of work.

vBulletin: fast, scalable, and template system makes it easy to customize, cheap
phpBB: just as fast, much harder to customize, free
Ikonboard and UBB suck. In fact I haven't even seen a site powered by UBB (except for their support forums of course) in months, just vB ones.Get your web design questions answered: Web Design Forums at http://www.turtletips.com/forums/ ; vBulletin Board of the Month.

I will be the odd ball here: I like WebBBS best. Unfortunately, it can be a hog... but my project forums get 2.7million hits or so a month and it does just fine.

Not mentioned very often, but I like OpenBB (http://www.prolixmedia.com). Easy to install, configure and use and also friendly on resources.

phpBB is also most likely the fastest board (in terms of page generation), including vBulletin, that I've used.-Bruce

Well I'm totally biased, but I'll add my plug for phpBB .
And if you don't want to create your own template, just download one fo the free ones.

I like Invisionboard best. Just personal preference with the look and features.
