Default Drupal or vBulletin?

I just can't decide between the two

The site will focus around forums, news, reviews etc

My main concern is finding the one that is the most efficient, especially for logged in users (I hear Drupal kind of sucks at this?) and which platform would be the easiest to scale (for future growth).

My options are to use Drupal and it's various modules, or vB and either Gars or vBadvanced Dynamics to power news/reviews etc (Or I could use just stock vB and a thread fields hack).

I know Drupal is meant to be really powerful and you can do some great sites with it, eg popsugar.com, but I am pretty familiar with styling vB as I've been using it for two years. I also think the vB team are excellent coders, and the most secure and efficient option would be vB (at least right now - Drupal is sure to get better with acquia getting all that funding).

Just wondering what your thoughts are? Do any of you use Drupal or, vB in this manner?
