It'd be easier to get these webmasters to link me from their links page, instead of their homepages. Anyone know?

Imo, it doesn't matter.
Imo, yes it does matter.
I think links on a "links" page are ok but not the best, links with in content are better. I feel you get more benefit from this type of link.
You will also have more chance of better quality if any traffic.

Imh, It is easier to get on a links page than on a content / index page.
When we talk links form quality sites it is often a matter of the art of the possible. If you are to succeed in getting the link, you must think hard about where the highest likelihood of the site owner placing his link to you is. The likelihood of the site owner linking to you from his index page is small, the likelihood of the site owner linking to you form a more specific page is higher though often not high.
Getting quality links is important and difficult. Do your homework well before contacting the site.
It does matter, the index page gives the highest transfer of PR, but!
This should not be your main goal. Your main goal is to get links that will provide your website with traffic.
For ranking purposes you should aim to get "important" links people say this is measured by PR, I always go with how much traffic it would provide. Who needs Page Rank when you have traffic? :)
1: No high quality site is going to give you a link from their home page. Where are you finding these high quality sites that practice that? That doesn't happen enough, if at all, to be a consideration.

That is called three way [webmasterworld.com] or triangular linking [webmasterworld.com] and has been discussed [webmasterworld.com] so you may want to check out the info on them.
The triangle could be closed or open. Site A and B are owned by you and site C is the site you are attempting to gain a link from. C links to A, B links to C. Do that enough times and you can see a clear pattern visually (draw A and B and then surround them with 100 C's drawing the lines from C's to A and B to C's and you'll notice what I mean by easily "seeing" it), much less mechnically. Unless your doing it with much more complexity and organization. I'm not saying the engines kill someone for triangular or three way links - I'm just saying they likely can see them, in their basic form in mass, for what they are.
