In my opinion i would say that MyBB is probably the best free forum as i have made one before and its pretty simple to use ;)

Definitely MyBB, I've always used it for my forums and it just works well imo. Some things aren't as good as vBulletin obviously, but there were things that MyBB had that vBulletin didn't have. There's also a lot of plugins for it, for which I recommend mybbsource.com (not just because I used to work there :P) and you can try a demo on the MyBB website (I think).

Mybb probably but IMO free forums always look tacky and don't give a very good impression

Personally I disagree, you can make it look good - a lot depends on the skin you use.
