I think it's worth a shot. I'm definately no seo guru, but it seems like if nothing else it might increase the trust google has in your site without "artificial" links or recips. At first it may suffer, but compare it with all the competition that uses recips and maybe it would get a boost.
Not to mention the sites will be alot cleaner for the surfers, which they might enjoy and visit more often.
Maybe even have a side not that says although not required, it would be nice to get a link from a seperate domain from the freesites your listing, or at least a main hub.
Like with my blog, one link to your site versus the dozens and dozens of links to my sites from yours definitely makes it worth it anyway imo.
Not sure if it means anything, but i do dearch terms all the time and haven't come up with any returns for the hun. He doesn't use recips necessarily and has been around forever and is trusted. Maybe thats a sign that recip free may not be best?
I could see possible benefits and drawbacks either way.
