Subdomain link building offer less authority, better to create links on the main domains.

It depends on:
If the subdomain is getting more and/or better backlinks than the root domain, then the subdomain's links would generally be stronger (although it's generally much more common for the root domain to have more backlinks/authority).
Anyway, all of the text above is mostly an interesting sidenote, because you're probably asking about web 2.0s (e.g., somesite.wordpress.com), in which case the root domain would be like eight million times stronger, since the individual subdomains are designed to effectively be completely new, isolated, and separate domains (i.e., they're not getting power from the root domain, because the root domain isn't linking to them).
- Where the site's backlinks are pointed and
- How the site's internal links are structured

Yes am talking about the web 2.0s but what pushed me to ask this question in GWT I having blogspot that is receiving decent amount of traffic when I checked its backlinks I found the most linking was blogspot.com and this ensures that they are not orphaned or isolated by any means. Just assumptions

A subdomain is seen as separated from the main domain. Therefore if the subdomain has no juice it cannot give anything either.
