    question: how do you define best.

    Here are some of the things that I'd consider

    1. speed of submission review (and you have DMOZ in there?)
    2. edited so that they don't have SEO focussed titles and descriptions because those directories end up looking like spam-fests
    3. indexed and cached on every page
    4. strongly categorised
    5. no empty cats - they're only created as needed
    6. owner is committed to the directory - it's not going to disappear when the hosting comes up for renewal
    7. listings are visible above the fold (as opposed to a huge block of adsense)
    8. niche
    9. no sites which are dodgy (think Rx, scooters, casinos)
    10. no games in the robots.txt, meta or nofollow, no redirects
    11. starts at the root of the domain, not a subfolder

    Well, two of my directories meet those criteria so I reckon they're up there

    RealState for Real Estate
    vBulletin Directory

    and this one falls over on 1 & 11: Property Investment Directory
