Think about it a second. Google crawls the web and finds "natural & relevant" link patterns. The natural order of progression is that some are follow, some are no follow. Some have high PR, some have low PR. Some link directly to the home page, some are links to pages deeper within the site.
That is how natural linking occurs, and Google knows it.
So to say a no-follow link has no value is a false belief.
Want some Google love? Give 'em what they're looking for, and make it easy for them to find it.
