My vote goes to niche.
More specific you are more good it is. Search engines gives more weight to specific content, and human being are also take more interest in more specific details. That's the reason, i prefer niche. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I also think that niche directory is better
But in terms of getting new submission, general web directory will easily get a lot of new submission at daily basis
It depends on ur needs and requirements -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I have both of them but if I had to choose, I would go go for niche because

• They seem to interest me more and it is easier to customise advertising.
• Not near as many spammy site submissions

The main benefit of general over niche is traffic. General directories will usually get more traffic.

The beauty of niche directories is they usually gain targeted traffic. i.e. the people on that directory are either interested in submitting a site that fits the niche, or looking for sites that are realted to the niche-topic.

If you have a niche that is too specific however, you run the risk of not having enough traffic to remain viable. I think for longevity you need to aim for popular or broader niches. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
