Hopefully they can tell the difference between actual useful links, top commentators, etc. and comment link spamming.

Some of them dofollow both comments and trackbacks, while others do just one or the other. A quick Google search will find you what you need. Turning off nofollow can make you more susceptible to spam comments and trackbacks. It's one of the reasons why I moderate comments on Remarkablogger. @Liz, there are several plugins that do this.

It seems like a no-brainer to change this, but I've read a lot of controversy about it increasing low quality comments - so do you leave it or change it to dofollow and is there a best plugin for doing that?
