well it depends on yourself.

normally there aren't much hacks to install, especially if you start with vb3, most hacks are already included
if you start with vb2, the quick reply is leet

No hacks are needed for any installation of vB, period. Only install hacks that your board absolutely needs, which, in most cases, are none.

index hacks aren't needed in vb3, as it comes with it's own archive system, and also does a better way for urls

Actually the official import script is for vB2 only. The ones for vB3 are still being developed. For now you can import to vB 2.3.4, then upgrade to vB3.

I went through this about a month ago when I was upgrading my forum to VB. If you buy a license you get access to the members area where you can download 2.3.4 and also VB3. You'll need to install 2.3.4 then run the converter and then run the upgrade script to VB3. So no, you wont be paying more, but you will have plenty of work to do! :-)
