For the most part I would prefer links to my index page, but not all the links. Having links deep in your site gives the robots ”side doors” to your site, and it is my belief that side doors gives a better overall spider coverage of the site and insures deep crawls better then a “link to index only” site. Let the articles that fit content in your site in a natural way link directly to this content.

Life is not black and white, SEO is also not always clear cut. Good compromises is often the way to go and what makes the more successful site is the quality of the compromises you make
