The one thing I don't like about Photopost Classifieds is that it's difficult to integrate simple things (like vbulletin user data) into the ads without having to know PHP extensively. The code base is just so different than vb. VBclassifieds looks like it will integrate much easier and it uses the vb template system, which is a huge plus in terms of integration and making modification simple. Though the support looks like it isn't quite there yet.
I use Photopost Classifieds and have had a hell of a time trying to modify it to meet the needs of our community. The main thing is trying to tie it into vb a little more than it does by default. There isn't a big following of hackers to help out with mods/hacks and the code base is a lot different than vbulletin so it can be a little difficult to get the two to work together. If VBclassifieds gets their support up to snuff and they create an import script for Photopost Classifieds, I'll be switching over.
I prefer the potential of VBclassifieds and how it will work with vbulletin but Photopost Classifieds is probably more stable.
Hope that helps.
