the vB team are excellent coders
i think thats up for debate xD

As for advice, i dont really have any, i stopped using pre made things a while ago because most of them are too large and complex for my needs, badly programmed and inconceivably hard to understand.
What i will say tho is that i have never been a great fan of the idea of 'hacking' forum software to be a CMS when there are other dedicated CMS systems that do the job better, on the other hand is the fact that some CMS's dont have forums, or if they do there not up the the standard of vB etc.

tis indeed a tough one, if it were me i would just install both and have a play around for a bit, as forums go vB is probably one of the better forum softwares around (i detest phpBB with a passion) and if you site is going to be forum centred then possibly using vB will be a better idea, although i do like the relative simplicity of the drupal interface tho, but wether or not its good enough or feature rich for a community i just dont know.
