What is most effective?

Hi all,

I'm a little confused and would appreciate some collective feedback.

I work with a couple of SEO guys who have different views on the number of free web directory submissions that should be conducted to kick off an SEO plan.

One says 70 max to start then slowly build from there month on month (5-10 new submissions p/month)

The other says 1-300 p/month for the first few months until you achieve reasonable SERPs, then do less (5-10 p/month) to maintain and strengthen rankings.

Would welcome your thoughts on the matter, are both safe/acceptable for the SEs? What is most effective?

Thanks
