Now lets talk about a seperate subject - Page Rank - not to be confused with PR - if you see that a page (category in this case) is ranking well in the SE positions (SERPs) in Google, then it is probably a safe bet that you would want a link from the category with a good mix of text in the link if you can get it for your "theme"

On the other hand if you can find a "niche" index page that has a good ranking and seems to be legit, then that would be a better link, if you can see that that page is affecting other peoples site in a beneficial way.

Whats the difference between PR and Page Rank

I thought they were the same??
