---- Directory Submissions - Good or Bad When it comes to PageRank?

A "good link" is one that brings "good traffic" to your website, i.e. traffic=visitors that do something your business desires upon their visiting your website. A good link "lends credibility". The link comes from a credible source/website and thereby "lends/shares its credibility" with your website.
What makes a directory credible?
Editorial review and control of listings
Editorial review leads to helpful, quality listings - hopefully saving the user time and making for a happy and successful experience
A significant and growing number of listings in all listed categories
Inbound links, freely given (unpaid) to the directory suggesting that other authoritative sources deem it reliable
Whatever else you or a visitor would deem a signal of quality
A shoddy directory would not only lack the above signals of quality but might evidence "bad signals". Since you're a SEO I'm sure you know what are bad signals.
