Features, support and other things. phpBB3 makes the server crawl if you have heavy board with more then 1000 users at a time and over 1 million posts. Out of all XF is super fast. I believe performance wise XF is well optimized and with newer releases once lawsuit is done, XF will win over the time. At present, IPB seems to have many features compare to vB, phpBB3, XF and myBB.

I personally like XF.
