I can suggest the following;

Synchronet
Mystic
Enigma.5
Talisman

Legacy;
Renegade
MajorBBS
Virtual BBS

All that being said, I'd suggest using Synchronet *IF* you are going to stick
with it and completely customize your BBS in the end. IMO its the most stable,
most capable and most reliable BBS software.

I use Mystic - its quick, easy and similar to Renegade but with advancements
in the MPL language for customizing using code. Its where the cool kids go.

Enigma.5 is rad - built on current day .json and can be powerful - again,
you'll have to customize to make something cool.

The legacy stuff if you want to live in 1990...
