Most of the directory owners do not pay much attention in getting their internal pages crawled, We mostly submit our website in suitable sub categories, so it will only be beneficial if the directory owner takes those efforts to maintain the directory quality.
So I think its better to submit in quality directories only and if possible try to submit in niche directories.

Directory submission helps in increasing rankings and you may also get traffic if someone gets approved in its niche directory.
