Put it in both places on all pages. Use CSS to control the relative
prominence of both. This is particularly beneficial on long pages,
where navigation might need to be used without scrolling back to the
top ("Back to top" links are a bad idea, as they're adding an extra
navigation step).
IMHO, the idea of saving blind users (or anyone else stuck with a
purely linear serialisation of the page) from "excess" repeated
navigation elements is over-emphasised. Go easy on the screen
furniture by all means, but few people using a site of moderate
complexity are going to object to a little generosity in presenting the
major navigation elements to them. It's better to waste a little time
sometimes than to make this hard to locate.
