As link popularity now plays an important part in determining a websites position on the main search engines result pages, its essential to build incoming links from other high PR ( PageRank) ranking website sites.
Online directories tend to have high Page ranks and are nearly always happy to link to your site for free, but there are drawbacks in submitting to only free directories: The main ones are as follows: they tend to be constantly over subscribed and therefore take significant time to add your listing, and because their editor’s are mostly volunteers working for free there are no guarantees they will list you at all.
On the other hand some of the main commercial directories pay their editors and therefore there is an essential incentive for them to add your listing, therefore its fasted and guaranteed.
I recommend a mixture of both free and paid submissions, as they paid ones will tend to establish themselves faster than the free ones so you will see and increase in your pagerank over a shorter period of time, which should result in speedier rankings for your choosen keywords.
