phpBB3
phpbb3 is the default but it is fairly complex to set up if you're not used to it (or even if you are, it's a damn sight more complex than some of hte other options but that is partly because once set up you have a million options to do whatever the hell you want).

The set up for a basic, all access forum is a doddle. It only becomes difficult if you want to restrict access to parts of a forum IMO.

True. But I've yet to come across a forum where some sort of permissions system was not needed, and the phpbb solution seems to be the most complex I've worked with. Once you're used to it it's a doddle, it's just not immediately obvious what route to take to do some things. I'm no web dev but I have worked with joomla/simplemachines, phpbb, e107 and a few others I've forgotten.
