 This thread from Google:

 shows they'd prefer just a canonical, I just checked with Bing and Duane
 Forrester and he said the non noindex, pure canonical approach would be
 better for sites too:

 So let's do that regardless of all else. I do also think we need to
 discuss whether the replytocom variable should really be in core anyway,
 as it leads to tremendous crawl actions on high comment volume blogs,
 without any extra value. Some logs from larger WordPress installs on how
 this parameter impacts crawl behavior would be helpful in that regard.
