net vs com domain

Let's say you can choose from history-books.com and historybooks.net.
Which one would you choose? I know google prefers .com but does having a "-" hold any relevance?
Thanx

 

having a "-" doesn't affect relevance, but it's pretty annoying to type in.
a .net can rank as good as a .com in my point of view.

But history-books.com looks cooler than historybooks.com/.net

 

Blaugrana1,

I'd go with the .net and no hyphen, I'd only use a hyphen when you have 3 or more words in the domain name. Just my preference.

i'd go for .com still even if it has "-"
.com extension is pretty easy to remember for most people.

 

.Com is the best..with - is no problems

 

I'll prefer .net versus domains with dash but otherwise i always prefer.com
