We are a web hosting company and some of our best links are from our own customers, on the same IP same IP, but different Class C blocks. How do search engines treat the uniqie scenario of web hosting companies and linking?

I would expect Google to discount some of the links.

Adam's right.  I don't expect Google's algorithms to know intent - if they did, then duplicate content between a www.domain.com and non-www version of that same site wouldn't be a problem.

It's critical to obtain a broad range of links across a wide spectrum of site types, levels of site authority, and of course, vastly different C blocks.
