I have a list of directories and my main criteria is if this site is trying to cheat people, i.e., with a link that will either (1) harm their site or (2) not add to their link count.

Directories that don't even deserve a lisiting do one or more of the following:

302 or 301 redirects
putting linkis in Frames
spammy pages (million sub domains)
Too many links per page (MFA)
rel="nofollow"on the links
Javascript links
"More info" or "details" pages with title in title or too much detail so they outrank the site
Page loads too slow (banners or faulty code)
Alphebetized listings (your link will change pages)
Dynamic urls with too many parementers
URLs with too many hyphens in file names
Too many Google ads on top of page
Google ads purposely disguised so you click on them
Too many categories on each page
Not enough sub categories
