In the past few months, google has basically stopped caring about no follows as much as it used to. I would suggest turning them on still, but it won't make much difference either way. The bots will still go off to the linked sites, it's just a matter of it it passes page rank to it or not.

Nofollow tag is an insurance that your site has no leablled with relationship with bad sites. It's for me important to use. And it's very easy with vbseo to use it.
