Personally, I think that navigational items should stay in one place
throughout the site. If you have a menu, keep it in the same place, if
you have breadcrumbs, keep them in the same place.
I like the ability to skip links, and have a skip links link positioned
off the page for screens, but it is available for text only, or small
devices like phones.
