I've been using vBulletin for ten years, but I have no special sql/php/css skills except for the minimum I've managed to learn to get vBulletin to do what I want. vb 3.8.7 is stable and has a large base of mods here, but I don't think you're going to get much in the way of new features. 4.1.5 (which I now use) has quirks, but it seems like the build is going in the right direction (some users disagree with me there). It takes a lot more time and skill and research to get 4.x working and looking right if you have a need to individualize. That said, I can do a lot more with 4.x.
You can upgrade from 3.8.7, but it's not easy to impossible to downgrade to 3.x from 4.x. Take a look at some forums running 3.8.7, check out the mods for the version and determine what's best for you.
