Yes they could be good but you need to try them first before knowing for sure.

Yes it's good to have links going out to other sites, especially if these are high authority sites.
Having outgoing links is very good for various reasons:
- It looks natural in the eyes of search engines
- It helps tell the search engines what your content is about so it can help you rank better.
- Your content will be seen as more authoritative when linking to related articles from high authority sites.
Just make sure you don't overdo things, like adding links everywhere in your content, that can easily lead to lower rankings.
Hope that helps,

If you subscribe to the Link Juice theory, outgoing links can leak away the benefits you gained from incoming links and should be limited. Giving those outgoing links a NoFollow tag should contain the link juice. As Maikel suggests, linking to a few authority sites related to the subject matter of the page should be a positive factor. Linking to 50 different sites with no particular relation to the page linking out is a definite bad for ranking factor, search engine policies state that "any links created for the purposes of search rank manipulation are a violation of the guidelines" a page full of links will have the appearance of a link exchange or paid backlink provider, again te NoFollow tag removes most of the seo benefit to the sites you are linking to and reduces the search engine suspicions of your motives.

Yes off course, it is called as reciprocal linking.
