I believe the "good linkbuilder" term is subjective. I have clients who want to acquire anchor text links(by various means) to increase their rankings but I believe unless you grow your link profile naturally using good content that is well syndicated, you might just shoot yourself in the foot.
I honestly think co citation and authority links are the ways to go. Those can both be acquired by being an authority figure in your niche or at least attempting to contribute valuable insights that gain you attention from teh right people.
