I look at the quality. I have seen far too many websites with high PR get banned and drag others down with it, and far too many brandnew ones shoot up from 0 to 5, 6 or even 7. So my advice is to ignore PR. Personally I do not go by PR at all. I look at the quality.

But I would consider PR to be one of the most important factors. Normally, people simply use Google toolbar to check PR, hoping it's accurate and current, and then decide if the price for the link is worth or not. The way I like to check directories' PR is more based on how they can grow and have potential in the future. So, I don't just see the current PR and decide if I should buy a link or not. I would like to see or try to see their potential by checking on their backlinks. So, ultimately I am more looking at their backlinks rather than PR when deciding the directory's value. The current PR doesn't tell you much as it can be dropped in the next Google update, so if you think link building is like an investment, I think you want to check on the future rather than the current.
