Making phpbb3 use recaptcha wasn't that easy, BTW - it was 4 years ago, but IIRC there are no real "modules", something you plug in and activate, as in e.g. drupal, but actually "mods", which are more like patches, with most of them, instead of being real diff files, are human-directed instructions about how and what to change. I might be wrong about this, but this needs to be checked prior to deciding.
Recaptcha is in by default now. The built in anti-spam is updated regularly as required. I can advise working anti-spam off list, but I wont go in to detail here as its a cat and mouse game.
