i think directory submission is best
All of them are important and hold good values more or less, You cant ignore any one of them. Just try to maintain diversity and variety and build backlinks consistently to rank your site higher. Dont forget about social media, as its very important nowadays in seo.
I supose your domain is new ?
In that case, the best start is to find forum posts with high PR (use some firefox plugin) where you can post a reply on the same page. Register, modify your signature with BL / Anchor with your KW. Reply to those posts with revelant content.
It consumes time, but:
- it's really effective,
- it will cost you nothing,
- no risk of G penalties.
PS: Later you can build web 2.0 profils buffers pointing to your money site, and buy xrumer blasts to those buffers... but not now if your website is a new one.

classified ads are much better after panda
Its as often the right balance. First, it depends on the existing link profile. If a site has a few links and you bombard it with endless amount of blog comments etc... you might be in trouble.
In my experience for every good contextual link you can multiple that by up to factor 80 (I use PR as basis and multiple that by 10)
If i get a contextual PR 5 link i know i can fire off 50 cheap links, if i get 5 PR 4 links i know i can fire off 200 cheap links etc... I am a bit on the conservative site, so for others it might be different.
To get back to your initial question; the best working links are trusted social media links. For example if you manage to get a link (for your youtube video) at the Facebook page or Twitter account of a celebrity (doesnt have to be major, local just fine) it works like a charm, not only ignores Google the whole no-follow but it creates every time a little buzz and gets many afterthought links...
You need a mixture of all, to get a good standard of link diversity. This minimises risk just in case one backlinking method become ineffective of devalued.
Plus it looks much more natural in the eyes of the search engines.
So....

Press Releases

Just mix it up and you'll set up a strong foundation for the future. Remember SEO can take time.
