.com with hyphen VS .biz without hyphen

Example:

Luxury-Vacation.com VS LuxuryVacation.biz

Which one would you develop and why?

.com as well

Neither, if you are going to spend a lot of time and effort to develop, get a good .com without a dash.

If just developing for search engine traffic (SEO), either would be good.

If you are going to be marketing the url in print, I would choose the .biz because I just hate seeing dashes in domains. Another thought: if you are saying the domain over the phone, the dash could be confusing.

Both will end up losing traffic to the .com, hence my first choice.

Good luck!

.biz as I am not a fan of hyphen.

.com is the way to go!

I agree with hugegrowth. Get a domain that you won't feel is second place somehow. The investment will pay off down the road when you have a straight forward brand name as opposed to one that comes with a disclaimer.
