1) Is there a possibility that the site will continue receiving inbound links? If yes then the current PR 0 or 1 links page might go to a PR 4 in future. If you secure your place on that page right now it might help you a bit in future ;)
2) How is the link management policy of the site you are taking a link from. The best possible link is a link from within site content (aka organic link). After that comes a directory link whereby people maintain their own site directory to manage their links. If you are in a very niche segment where there are not many websites then even a links page link might be good for you.
HTH :)
This discussion should have been in forum 12 IMHO.Would have taken more time for responses but the depth of knowledge out there on this topic is great
