Comparing all three on each key features, which one would be the best?

What're important to you? Is it free price tag, or abundance of themes, or ease of migration from another platform?

Personally, I prefer IPB the best, but that's me. It's because I have been using InvisionFree in the mid 2000s through early 2010s, and that's a free SaaS service based on an early version of IPB. If you go with IPB, you need to go with version 4.x and above. Otherwise you need PHP 5.x for version 3.x cos the 3.x version calls some legacy PHP APIs that have been deprecated for long.

MyBB is the best forum software and its for free so dont waste your whole money for other shits and safe it for some nasty ass myBB plugins.

I like MyBB. It's popular and it has nice amount of plugins which can help you customize your forums

depends if you have money or not, if you have alot of money, xenforo or ipb would be an awesome choice, but if you dont have money, mybb would be a good choice since you can get as many plugins for free, while on xenforo and ipb you have to pay for plugins so the more you use the more money you'll need but overall, i like ipb cause of the clubs and other apps but i think you can only have square avatars there so i prefer xenforo personally

If you don't mind using nulled software then I would go with IPB It has everything you would need and more with plugins and applications.

I personally use IPB. I run a flash arcade site, using ibProArcade and it only works on IPB v3.4.9

I'm using both IPB and XenForo.
I like IPB because of all the default features it comes with but XenForo has a much wider variety of theme's, add-ons and so one...
