phpBB vs MyBB – Which Is Better for a New Forum?

[Pteneco]

Hi all, I’m confused between phpBB and MyBB for starting a forum board. 
Which one is more beginner-friendly and easier to manage? Is GTHost.com vps hosting good for my needs? 
Also, what are the minimum server requirements in terms of RAM and storage? What host is better? Why? 
I’m new to hosting so simple advice would help.
