The key bit of the question is the last part - 'assuming they are still available' .
That rules out .de .co.uk etc as they have been snapped up many years ago.
Emerging ccTLD's are always a gamble , but that is the gamble the people in .de and .co.uk took 8 years ago.
If you think history repeats, or that certain TLD's are too entrenched to grow is why it is speculation
One thing I always think of is that .de and .co.uk are massive now, give them time and they will become huge.
