They are credible publications, whereas a PBN is seen as a blackhat method, is the argument.

I understand. But, in terms of their effectiveness for ranking: would 20 strong editorial links perform better than 20 PBNS?
In all probability yes, but if you have the budget for 20 Forbes links, then look at curated links too.

Thanks for your help. It's not really a matter of budget. I've noticed that it takes me about the same amount of time to get a PBN up as it does to get a solid editorial link. I was trying to figure out how best to spend my time and I will also look into adding some supplementary link building like curated links.
Obviously your own PBN you control, but it's always good to get other link types especially non PBNs which aren't blocked.
If you have a product/service, then PR are worth looking at too.
