IMHO, 100 PR2/PR3 links may or may not not be any better than the handful of PR6. Until recently, I would agree that the 100 is the better choice. But, there's lots of speculation around today that says 'relevant' links are about all Google is really counting.
If that is true, then 6 links (little or nothing to do with PR value) from related sites would be more valuable than 100 links from unrelated (irrelevant) sites. That then begs the question, "what is relevant?"
I don't know that anyone but Google can answer that. So, I usually ask Google. I do a @www.mydomain.com search. Google provides results, but notes that it is displaying the most relevant sites. I use that number as my true Google backlink count (after I subtract pages that I know are not real links like PPC generated virtual links).
For example, doing a literal search on my URL, Google reports over 4000 pages. (Most are PPC virtual links.) When I page through my results though, only 115 are displayed as being relevant. Many of those are also virtual links. But the point is, many people are beginning to believe that relevancy has become king (quality versus quantity).
