I've been looking around at the available options and have narrowed it down to vBulletin, Vanilla or Phorum.

I don't have a lot of experience with those other forums, but I'm a big fan of Vanilla. Vanilla 2 code is based on a php MVC framework, very clean, and easy to customize and integrate.

The code needs to be open to allow us to highly customise the software both to strip out a lot of stuff and be able to integrate our sites features. A lot of the forums I've looked at have a lot of duplicate features to our main site, in particular member management, profiles etc.

Vanilla has a Sign-On Integration system allowing it to integrate with your site's member management.

Finally I guess if 'future proofing' the forum (as best as possible) given the above. Which platform will allow us to customise it but also allow us to keep instep with upgrades. Which forum software has the best track record for bringing online new features in a timely manner?

Upgrading Vanilla is fairly painless, as well, is open-source, and as long as you follow conventions for customizations, can be upgraded without ruining custom page code. I am impressed by the administrative backend and easy addon upgrade system.
