Default Help Me Convert from phpBB - List of Required and Desired Mods/Hacks

I originally posted this on the pre-sales forum in vbulletin.com. However, they recommended posting here for insight on the hacks.

I set up an internal phpBB forum for my company a few years ago and I would like to convert the board to vBulletin because of the obvious advantages (to me anyway). However, I need some assistance in justifying the move which includes functionality as well as costs. Since it's a corporate environment, the cost of a few licenses with a yearly recurring fee is not extremely significant. However, the current functionality must remain in addition to the added features of course.

I know I can trudge through this site and vbulletin.org to find the answers, but I'm hoping I can get some quick answers to get me started since this is pre-sales after all. I have a list of required hacks/mods that are basically deal breakers if they cannot be satisfied and also a few desired. If it's not too much to ask, please let me know if there is a supported hack/mod that performs the function.

I know out of the box, vB is pretty full featured and several items on the list are already satisfied by the plain vanilla installation of vB.

Required:
Categories Hierarchy (sub-forums) - Out of the box support by vB
Quick Reply Mod - Out of the box support by vB
Quick Search - Out of the box support by vB
RSS Content Syndicator - Out of the box support by vB
Forum Permissions List - Out of the box support by vB
Attachment Mod - Out of the box support by vB
Printer Friendly Topic Mod - Out of the box support by vB
New Topic/Reply Notify MOD - Must have ability to enable/disable text within post

Highly Desired:
RSA Two-Factor Authentication - I will buy the licenses right now if there is a hack/mod for this!!
Embedded Pictures/Images - Ability to have full size images within threads so that text can be placed above and below images.

Desired:
Tab BBCode
Table BBCode
FAQ Editor
Topic Cement - This basically allows me to add weights to topics for sorting
Email posts or messages to combinations of groups - This is essentially limited to a forum. If a post is made within this forum, an email will be sent either to a group or a single email that includes contents of the post.
Glossary

Thank you for your time. I realize this post may be a little involved, but please just take a crack at any of the above mentioned items. Any info will be appreciated.
