>> Reciprocal links cancel one another out, so you won't gain anything by doing so.

Crikey - how did you find that out? :)

For the couple of directories I run, I ask for recip links, but it's not a requirement - I get a reasonable % linking back so I figure it's worth it. That said many people submitting to directories are just after static one way links, and as skibum said, if the directory is good, you'll get picked up by the directory lists, and industry related sites over time.
