What's the problem?

Just pick one, and install it on a test site. If you like it, install it on your live site.

I've not looked at the hacks for phpBB, but most hacks come with instructions.

here are the install instructions

<?php

//
// Config Section

// Paths & stuff
// where does topics_anywhere reside? This should be your phpBB root path. No trailing slash!
$full_url = 'http://www.mydomain.com';

// You can change the format of date and time here...
// For American type dates you probably want to switch the 'd' and 'm', 'M' or 'F'
// You can also make your own formats, as long as you use the syntax of PHP's function date()
// Of course, do not add or remove any quotes! (unless escaped)
$date_formats = array('d/m/y', 'd/m/Y', 'd/m/Y H:i:s', 'D d-M-y', 'D d-M-Y', 'D d-M-Y H:i:s', 'l d F Y', 'l d F Y H:i:s');

// Array of possible bullets
// You can add your own bullets if you want.
// Do not add or remove any quotes! (unless escaped)
$bullets = array('-', '+', '>', '›', '»', '°', '*');

//
// End Config Section - nothing needs to be modified below...
//

There is an install.txt file in that zip.

## Author Notes: In my eyes, this isn't really a MOD, more an ADDON, because there is no
##               need to modify any of phpBB's files.
##               You have to configure topics_anywhere.php itself though. Just open it in
##               your favourite PHP editor (or notepad) and change whatever is necessary
##               in the "Config Section". Just read the comments in the file to guide you.
##               When you've done that, place the files in the appropriate directories, then
##               point your browser to topics_anywhere.php and follow the steps...
##
##               Topics Anywhere should work with phpBB 2.0.0 (not tested), and does work with
##               phpBB 2.0.1 (tested), phpBB 2.0.2 (tested) and phpBB 2.0.3 (tested). The code
##               generated with earlier versions of Topics Anywhere can still be parsed by newer
##               versions of Topics Anywhere. Only if you want to use new features, you should
##               go to topics_anywhere.php again to generate a new code to copy and paste.
