My experiences are:
Zymic: Meh, it's free. Can't complain about how slow it can be. Not good for non-static hosting (no phpmail)
000: Do I really need to say anything?
Forumotion: Not bad uptime wise, just horrible customer service, admin panel in lame, kind of restrictive and way too intrusive with their ads.
SMFnew: We have an entire topic on its downtime. Need I say more?
IcyBoards: Stunning everything. Open, properly supported, advanced notification of downtime, and if you get your own domain no branding. Can move ads to suit your theme better, under certain rules, friendly and helpful support. My recommendation for free forum hosting as it stands right now.
