I would say that there aren't 25 'good article directories' (anymore). But, under the assumption that there are: yes, these would could as 25 unique links, and you wouldn't have to write 25 unique articles for this.

Yes it would, though in this case you're the original source and all their websites are linking back to your website to attribute the original content to you.

The republising of articles is a common practice, so I wouldn't worry to much about the 'duplicate content' aspect of this situation if I were you.

I recently tested this post panda - 771 articles submitted. 20 days later I could only find 5 of them on Google. Only 1 had the link in it.

771:1 is not a good ratio. If you do this, make sure you check back over time to see if this is actually providing the links you think it is

I would have thought your energy would be better spent writing more articles and submitting to less directories.

Stephen, a side note that this could be part of an interesting submission for YOUmoz if you're looking for something new to write! Or if you've written it up elsewhere let us know, it's always interesting to see this type of data.
