I gave SMF and it's converter 3 times a try, and it crashed three times after around 30% and is because of it's structure hard to understand and debug. So we sticked with myBB where the conversion runs smoothly and was easily extendable to add missing features. And extending was really needed, because all converters for forums I found so far (including SMF and phpBB) only convert the basics like users, forums, threads, pms and posts, but no subscriptions, buddies, profile settings, user titles and so on - so I had to write some additional converter modules which was pretty straight forward for myBB where the converter was already modular. Also the overall structure of myBB is pretty close to vB so that links from external sites to us should still work (up to a certain degree).
