What's your reasoning?

Please note that I said pages with only a couple listings not pages with 15 or 20 or 30
As to my reasoning:
1) I make sure my pages don't have hundreds of links out by using multiple pages for categories with more than 70 links in them, and my link trade partners get a link to them on every page for the large categories and not just the first page (which is the only one they're linking to). While I'm happy to trade links with a new LL that only has some farmed listings or a half dozen submitted sites, I also get a lot of link trade requests from LLs that have zero listings in a lot of their categories. Doing link trades between my cat pages which have dozens or hundreds of backlinks pointing at them and pages with zero links out and zero backlinks devalues my trades for all my trade partners so I try to avoid it.
2) While hard link trades don't generate much traffic they do generate some, and I don't like to send my surfers to pages with no content
