You can't go far wrong with phpbb, assuming your hosting has PHP and MySQL.

For a free forum I would highly recommend SMF (http://www.simplemachines.org/).

I've installed and used SMF twice, and I like it. It's also free which is a bonus.

If you dont' mind paying a license fee, then get vBulletin - it's the best forum software. (macrumors use vBulletin)

Is there a specific language you're leanings to wards? PHP? Ruby? Python? Does the language matter at all?

I like this one too, it is pretty easy to use. I use Phorum because it is so easy to edit the look of if you know a little PHP and CSS.
