simpleboard is the only one that fully integrates, however smf and phpbb work with mambo by using a so called "bridge". I personally find that simpleboard is the easiest to install, but it doesn't have as much features as phpbb and smf. Simpleboard is more for smaller sites or if you really want good integration with mambo.

I tried out Simpleboard and was not impressed.

I am currently using SMF with a Mambo "bridge" on 2 sites and am very pleased. The bridge is easy to install and more info can be found at www.mambohacks.com

SMF has several easy to install "mods" that add to my Mambo Sites.
