What should I use for my homepage (vbadvanced or a separate main page)? My website will consist of three features. A magazine, a catalog guide and a forum.

The magazine will be developed through ijoomla's magazine extension using Joomla.
The catalog is being developed in a php/mysql based website.
The forum is a vbulletin forum.

I'm trying to decide what my homepage should focus on: the magazine and it's articles, or the forum and its community? If I make the Joomla homepage, it won't integrate well with vbulletin.

You can integrate Joomla with vB I think, and It would make it easier to use a Joomla front page (even if it's not the magazine section)

Do you run a forum? Check out my forum owners blog.

Bdude is right, in case you don't want to integrate vb with joomla, you can simply display latest threads on the home page through javascript.
