Depends on your server's capabilities.

For Windows/ASP - I've used Snitz forums for a while now. They seem to get the job done.

For Linux/PHP - Why not try the forums TechIMO uses? vBulletin.

Best free forum (imho) phpbb2

Http://www.phpbb.com/

I am using it for several sites....

I have tried several others, but phpbb is the closest to vbulletin (not free) that I could find.
Very nice forum , easy to setup. Great support on their forums, in case you need that.
