I'd deploy phpBB in its default configuration before I'd deploy default Wordpress. (Our blog is Wordpress).

phpBB has an atrocious security record. It's gotten much better since version 3.
I think I could credibly dispute the record here, but I think we can also probably just agree that today, phpBB is hobbled by fewer design errors and better hygiene than Wordpress. Wordpress is just a scary glob of PHP code.
