You'll have to use both, the real difference is the acp and db structure. Personally I like IPB better I find it easier and better to use, then again vb isn't bad either I just don't like it's ACP >.<
Nothings wrong with downloading retail or nulled versions, if your board get reported IPB will contact you they won't do much unless your violating your hosts rules and tos then again if your hosting it yourself you should be fine. IPB has contacted me a few times about that I never responded though so I assume they don't really care :3 I'm not too sure about vB and piracy there though.
