CSS layouts and SEO

Ive heard varying reports about how well CSS based sites do in search engines.

One side say that because the content is seperated from the design, it means that the page is in a more logical structure and the content is at the top of the page, which translates to better indexing and higher positioning in the search engines

The other side say that because stylesheets are linked to at the top of the page, then the search engines will index the stylesheets first, so it makes no difference to the rankings

If it is the case that stylesheets are indexed, surely you could stuff them full of keywords and get a higher ranking?

SEO is very important, so I want to learn the ins and outs of it..
