I agree with @Rj268. For foundation, I would definitely go with him as he says, the more manual strategy you choose safer your site will be.What I do with a new website is build a lot of foundational links like: profile, web 2.0, comment, forum links. These are not super powerful but when you use only branded and naked URL anchors it gets the site noticed and brand established. It also establishes a good foundation of branded anchors so when I start building keyword anchor texts I don't need to be overly concerned with over optimization of anchors.
