Just so you know, OP, there are plenty of other great options apart from phpBB and myBB.

I've used phpbb in the past and it seems to do fairly well with SEO. However, after a few months it was just bombarded with spam everyday, and nothing I did really stopped it. I even tried using recaptch for registration. Frankly I would stay away unless you really know how to use it. As far as joomla I have used Kunena. However I found the interface to be not all that great. I like the forum to be in on it's own page not imbedded in a webpage, it is pretty easy to setup though. Honestly, It think vbullitin is the way to go.

My spam software deals only with phpbb. Could you therefore please use it
Joomla is absolutely bull$hit. I had it for a while, together with a forum extension (do not remember, fireforum or so, long time ago). Forget.

^^ I had the same problem the only downside to Vbullitin is you have to pay for it and sometimes it hard to code if you want to modify the forum alot, but it is the best choice I have seen forum wise. SMF seems to be used ALOT for profile backlinks so I would discourage that as well.
