Backlin from which source is considered best?

I guess Temi was thinking about the different relevance passing abilities. In general we can claim that more the content on a page is, the more relevance it pass. Of course the location of the link (header, in text, footer) have different passing abalities.

Here is what I mean.
The weight of a link from your website homepage, is more than the weight of a link from three folder deep within your website.

Depends how you are measuring 'weight'.

On a directory, a link from
home>health(1level) >illnesses (2nd level) > chest infections (3rd level)

would be far better than a homepage link, if the target site is about bronchitis.

That said, if we are talking about PR weight, then chances are the homepage will be higher

Content based links -- the rest are just playing games.

I mean relevance and PR really. OWG's answer hit the nail in the head on both relevance and PR.
Which is also more or less what Bagi referrers to: a link from say a web design page of a web hosting site pointing to a web design site is more relevant than a link on the homepage of a web hosting site pointing to a web design site.
