Looking for the Best WordPress Plugin for Managing Internal & External Nofollow Links

I have been expending a great deal of effort testing plugins that offer some form of management over nofollow links on a WordPress site.  I’m looking for something that will enable me to specifically select a page or Post by the Post ID and mark that page or post to always receive a nofollow tag whenever I link to it within my blog.

There are several plugins that help to provide nofollow tags for things like Categories, Tags, Archives etc. 

The only one that seemed to do this reliably was the tool that came with Headspace( author homepage), although it missed a few from time to time as well.  Anyway, I can’t recommend any of these because they did not do what I was looking for, but I can help you take a look at what I have searched through and experimented with myself.  If you find something better, let me know and I will happily cover you or your site in a future article with a link (absent the nofollow tag).
