Niche Related backlinks or high pr?

I'd go for the high PR one everytime.
Link diversity isn't just a wide amount of different links on different platforms, but also means your links need to be on different types of content. Having a few unrelated backlinks is completely natural. It only becomes a problem when unrelated backlinks form the basis of your link profile.

Best link is the PR3 one, assuming the page the PR3 is coming from is your topic.
If not, the best use of your link is to have the PR3 link go to a tier1 that has proper content related to your niche, then have the link to your money site from that tier1.
If your basic question is whether the niche of their site has to match the theme of your site -- no. But the page you get the link from does.

IMO niche related on high pr links are good but if the niche related site is authority without a PR you can even have links on that too.

Agree with all of the above. looking at all the latest Google changes, i try to completely avoid unrelated high PR links. even if they make the desired effect, the chances of future damage are way to high (unless it comes from really authoritative sources). Niche targeted backlinks, and i mean good contextual ones, are better for rankings, and also has the potential to send targeted traffic and help build the site's reputation. also i can't see how it can be harmfull in any way.
If you ever checked the PR of the websites that are ranking 1st page for your keyword you must have noticed that some of them are PR0, sometimes most of them, and that gives an idea how much PR is important for rankings. however if you'll check their backlinks to see where they're coming from you'll find niche targeted backlinks for all of them (checked that many times for many different kw's).
Of course if you can find some niche targeted that also have high PR/DA that would be the best, but if you have to choose- niche targeted ones would be the better choice.
Personally, i would suggest to go with Cheap HIGH PR Links. I don't rely on blog networks anymore, because they will eventually die out and i cant allow that for my link building. For example i can buy 50 x PR 1 links for like $25 which is cheap and in exchange you can get 25 strong links either at your money site or your unique tier 1. I usually order my high pr links from http://craigslistpvapostingservice.com/seo.html but there are other providers out there.
Remember, the key is to have unique content pointed to your money site. If you wish to have long lasting rankings that is

Well if the PR 5 domain has no good backlinks, it's probably like all the other auctioned shit people are buying and throwing blogs up on. Better to get a genuine PR 3 backlink then a PR 5 backlink (according to the toolbar) that has a Google internal PR of 0.
