The best links, by far, are ones that you took time to secure, and were secured because your website provides great content.

I just secured a pagerank 7 link from an ancient EDU website page with only authority links out on it, simply by focusing on writing great, compelling unique content, citing content and research where needed, having privacy / terms and disclaimer in place, and talking back and forth with the webmaster for that University (who had to clear the link with his boss)
