I have zero experience in running a forum. I am in the process of starting up an organization that would benefit from having a dedicated forum accessibility. Is vbulletin 5 the right choice over other options that may be available and how? And is this the right question, I should be asking?

My advice would be to try each one you are interested in, hopefully they all have a demo you can trial, as vBulletin does here.
Good luck.adktramping ~ my happy place.

If your completely new to forums I would suggest you consider vBcloud. With vBCloud we upgrade and maintain the software for you. It does limit somewhat what customizations you can make but it frees you up to worry about site content rather than technical issues.

If you purchase the download version of the software there are no other costs paid to us (vBulletin.) You do need to provide sufficient web hosting which can vary from a few dollars a month for an inexpensive shared hosting plan all the way up to hundreds of dollars (or more) for a very powerful dedicated server- it really depends on how much traffic your site ultimately gets. Virtually all forums can start on inexpensive plans.
