vBulletin isn't free. It's a commercial PHP forum, and I'm sure there are no hosts that host free vBulletin boards. I recommend MyBB because it has a proper plugin API and the developers are pretty quick at releasing security fixes.

phpBB doesn't have a plugin API as far as I know, so you'll be mucking around with core edits. MyBB gives you one-click installation of plugins and the interface is very friendly.

vBulletin is not free, you will not get it for free.
MyBB is very like vBulletin, as is phpBB or SMF. If you look through your options you will see that there are many options. All in all, I'd recommend MyBB. It's the best free forum software (in my opinion).
