I'd rather have a link from a Page Rank 2 that is Number one in Google for a term I am competing for than a link from a page rank 8 that is completely unrelated.

As to a page rank 6 getting spidered more - that's nonsense. The bots get into a habit of visiting your site based on frequency of updates.

But hey, wtf do I know about SEO - right? Go ahead and buy you're links based on page rank if you want.
