    I find sig links tbh. I've submitted links in my sig to numerous web directories and when I do a google search, the sig links always come up first. . .

    might not mean much, just my take.

    If directories are seo friendly and pages crawl regularly then it would be best Because sign link comes from same C class IP...As per my knowledge, it would be best if each link comes from different IPs...

    Directory Submission and Forum Posting are the best tactics to get good results. Bu t one can get quick results in Forum Posting whereas in Directory Submission it takes time to get the approved site.

    well I can say both are effective, why do you have to choose if you can have the advantage of both. In directory submissions it depends on the page rank of that site and how deep is your link located, while in forum signatures it depends also on the page rank, traffics and also the number of your post.

    Both can help to boost your backlinks.Submit to directories as much as you can and other method that can increase your backlinks. i.e blog comment.

    In my experience, it took so long the site is approved in a web directory and sometimes it wasn't indexed.

    Directory Links will give you one way back link which is count impotent. Forum signature link does not contain to much weightage as SE point of view but yes it can drive traffic to your website.
    So Both are important on their place.

    Sig links actually bring traffic as well, but if you get a link in a directory such as dmoz then it's more valuable than any forum signature

    I have submitted my blogs to about 100 directories before I did not feel the effect, but with forum signature the effect is amazing. However, it will also depend on your forum posts I suppose.

    I, also, find SIG's quite effective for the short term ranking ... But as for long run, more static links are better.
