I tried the official package in the beginning, and it works pretty fine but after more experiments I find many limitations especially for the discussbot which is not maintained anymore so I moved to the second alternative by JoomlaHacks. What I find interesting in Joomla-SMF project is the availability of components, mambots and modules to make the integration of the forum in CMS more easier. So if you decided to adopt Joomla/SMf go directly to Joomla-SMF project, I think it's best choice currently available.
Finally I find it really great and simple to run a website with really the minimum fees. It's more interesting to spend money on the website marketing, on the design, communication, while you can get the platform itself for absolutely nothing. This have been said, I always encourage to make donation for free software and open source projects, it's not wrong to show some love to these projects and encourage them to continue giving the best.
