    Both versions are good for seo (keyword rich). If you had a choice, get the exact match version.

    Totally agreed. Both Help!

    You can buy both and forward one of them to the other

    Go for www.domainname.com. It helps a lot when there's a single name comprising of continuous letters, instead of a name that uses hyphen (-). And again, even if you target a specific geographic location, www.domainname.com will help you in achieving good rankings in local SEO results. :)

    Good luck.

    It doesn't help anymore then a hyphen version for local SEO. You would want to get a ccTLD if you want to target a specific market.

    Both can be used if we're talking S.E.O., but if you can choose, choose domainname.com ( usability reasons ).
