    For SEO purposes, probably the best is the first example: my-url.html,
    But overall IMO the better choice is: myUrl.html
    Is easier to type, also the extension is more accurate with .html, although doesn't matter for SEO purposes.

    First or second either one is good. Although first one is more common pattern to use. Third one got a special character +, which is not good idea.
