I've never heard of SBBS, but in the past I've had the pleasure of 
working with: AppleNet, CMS, GBBS, GBBS "pro" and TeleCat. I worked
with AppleNet for about 2 years.  It was a good system to start out
with, but as I expanded I found it too limited for my needs.  This
past summer I began working with GBBS "pro" and have been very 
pleased with it.  It's a bbs that is ready to go almost right out of
the box and is easy to work with/modify.  There is also a new version
of GBBS coming out (one of these days) called Llucy which suposedly
will offer network capabilities.
I'm friendly with one of the Proline sysops and he seems happy with
with the Proline software.  It looks like it is more difficult to
set up, but I have not worked with it directly.  It's a good program
if you plan to run a *BIG* system, otherwise I'd recommend GBBS.
