Forum Friendly URLs - which format to use?
 

These are the options in vB. Why and when would you use one over the other for a new vB site?

• Standard URLs:
  showthread.php?t=12345
• Basic Friendly URLs:
  showthread.php?1234-Thread-Title
• Advanced Friendly URLs:
  showthread.php/1234-Thread-Title
• Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs:
  threads/1234-Thread-Title

I often see vB 4 sites showing up in Google search results that use the standard URL format. Do Friendly URLs still matter for SEO? I tried to search for this information but it is hard to figure out the opinion of real SEO experts. Most opinions seem just 'opinions'. So are FURLs hype, fact or fiction for SEO?
