What do you need them for?

I am making a forum, I do not feel the need to develop my own. I want to see what is out there and what the best option is.

I have the money to purchase a paid forum script, but what makes these scripts worth the money and why not just choose phpBB because it is free?

Invision Power Board

The featureset is vastly superior to phpBB. It's more flexible, and easier to customise and modify. I find the moderation tools of IPB to be the most intuitive of them all. It also just feels more professional.

To be honest, your best bet would be to try them out yourself. It's clear why the licensed ones are superior to the free ones, but from that point on it's pretty much down to preference.

LiveWire was originally based on IkonBoard which is free and as you can see, easily customisable if you learnt PERL. As far as i know, LiveWire has very little of the original Ikonboard code left, david has modified, customised and optimised it to hell and back.
