Directories have definitely lost their value and when you ask our team, the best directories are of the local citation kind. Saying that, I would review Yext and Getlisted, for the best local citations to go after.

Local directories are definitely important, this post has a great overview of where you should post: http://moz.com/blog/2013-local-search-ecosystems.  I'd recommend printing it out and going through each.

On a global scale, the only other directories that provide serious value are those that are very specific to your niche, and offer some sort of objective ranking or specific information on your page.  Specific directories for your industry can be very helpful in gaining a relevant link that will look good for search and draw direct traffic.  Google has made it clear that anything that anyone can submit to has little if no value going forward.  I'd stay away from those types of directories.
