This was my 1-st option ..but .. I was thinking about the security (since bitcointalk.org was hacked several times) ...

That depends how safe your servers are. Although nothing is safe if hackers aim to attack you
Bitcointalk is famous and that's why few bitcoin haters tried to destroy its community
You don't need to worry unless your forum gets extremely famous and invites some haters

most of the time they DDos attacked on forum to down it, as far I remember it was only 1 hack attack on bitcointalk lasy year in may, so I think SMF is safe enough to star with, you can switch later once your forum gets popular

XenForo would be my choice, but it is not free, though. You might be interested in taking a look at this Wikipedia page.
