    If you are targeting SEO domain then the .com has an upper hand over others..

    I heard .org are better because they have value if you are going to link to another site from it.

    I think they would all do about the same. I am not a big fan of domains with multiple dashes (-) but have had success with 2 dash sites.

    Good luck!

    Having the keywords in the domain plays a small role in SEO, if any. Overclock's suggestion is a good one.

    Wrong! Having the keywords in domain, makes it easy to rank well for those!

    I'd choose the version without dashes.

    Wrong yourself. I have used both keyworded and non-keyworded domains and both rank similarly. Having the keywords in the URL is important but not having them in the domain is not (but it's nice).

    By your logic we would all be buying www.chances-of-mesothelioma-from-asbestos-exposure.com, but we don't. If keyworded domains acted like magic there would be no such thing as brandable and 3/4 letter domains, which sell for the most. If keywords in domains are so important please tell me why short and brandable domains sell for more than keyworded domains.

    So tell me why .com has benefit over other TLDs. We are speaking about SEO here, remember.
