"Better" is almost always in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I prefer Simple Machines Forum (SMF) to PHPBB, but again that may be more personal preference than one being objectively "better". For a start, here's a list of 'value applications' that are available on the most basic PHP-enabled hosting plan from godaddy.com: Nucleus, pLog, Serendipity, WordPress; AzDGDatingLite, NoahsClassifieds, Joomla, Mambo, Postnuke, Xoops, phpMyFaq, paFileDB, MagneticPoetry, WWWPaintBoard, phpCollab, AdvancedGuestbook, forImages, Gallery, Coppermine, OpenDb, SiteBar, PHPOpenChat, AdvancedPoll, AardvarkTopsites, Geeklog, PmWiki, and SMF. Obviously, no site is going to need all of those, but they are all available for the admin to "install" or "uninstall" as needed. Since you're talking "generic" installation, I'd go with at least a CMS, a forum system (SMF or phpBB), an image gallery, a chat system, and phpMyAdmin. Maybe a simple webmail package as well. Moodle is a favorite PHP app of mine, but since it is geared towards being an online learning Course Management System, it probably doesn't 'fit' in the realm of a "generic" installation.
