Feature wise it looks interesting, if you have experience with it that is what counts most. I had never seen it before.
I have had experience with phpBB, and Invision. I found SMF considerably more polished, i have used both 1.x and 2.x versions of SMF and am very happy.
The fact that SMF has a REAL plugin API was the big draw, since phpBB code hacks where a nighmare for security patching..
Out of the box installing additional spam protection seems to be a must for all the boards since captcha's are mostly useless now. there is a http://www.stopforumspam.com/ for both SMF and myBB, I would suggested considering it.. It makes finding a whacking human / robot generated spam accounts easier.
