Ranking proves nothing because if all your competition does exactly what you do they're in the same boat as you are.
Looking at SERPs will tell you very little about SEO.
PageRank is also not the only ranking factor. The primary reason for using nofollow is to get pages to stick in the main index. If you can pull that off without using nofollow, so much the better.

This is just my opinion but I think people read way to deep into what search engines like and dislike. The "nofollow" tag was originally designed to eliminate ranking comment spam. Why would a good algo read a "nofollow" in a zone that was not designed to allow comments?
Just use the basics and build a unique page or site. Depending on your kw competition you might have to add some ibl's or a little extra (or sometimes a lot). Nofollow is not going to help in a place where it's use is not intended.
That is trying to manipulate the serps.
