I'd also prefer not to have to chmod every file and folder just to run the damned thing.

For me, in addition to this, I would look for:

- full visual and userbase integration with vBulletin of course (or at least, something like vBridge)
- community events calendar in CMS tied to vBulletin threads
- automatically spawn vBulletin threads from CMS blog/article posts
- decent commerce system
- decent a/v streaming
- and something very similar to the Mambo Community Builder module.
